Dk's Carne Guisada

This is one of my favorite Mexican dishes. This recipe is from a small town church cookbook I received as a wedding present 26 years ago. Posted here for safekeeping. Recipe is credited to Laverne McKoy. You'll find this dish goes together quickly and is very simple. I've made it in a crock pot, on the stove or in the oven. Just adjust the cooking times for your situation. The traditional way to serve this is as a stew with warm flour tortillas on the side. We usually spoon it into the tortilla and eat as a taco with cheese and sour cream.
