Chipotle Carne Guisada (Beef Stew Meat Braised W/Chipotle)

Chef Sarita in Austin Texas's Note:

Tender and stick to your ribs meal. The Goya Sazon is in most food stores in the Mexican isle next to the powder spices in a small yellow/orange box but you can most certainly find it in Mexican specialty stores.
