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."

  1. Excellent flavors! The meat come out so tender it melts in your mouth. I cut the recipe down to 1 1/2 servings and it was plenty to feed two people. I served it with spanish rice, tortilla's and recipe #178879 El Pollo Loco Mexican Beans. Yummy! To spice it up a bit I added in about a tablespoon of jalapeno juice although I did use fresh in the recipe. Next time I plan to make more and have some leftover to use in burritos. Thanks for posting. Made for Spring PAC 2011
     
  2. This is a delicious savory stew. DH wanted it with rice, but I know it would also be excellent with tortillas. I toned down the heat a little because my son won't eat very spicy food, and added a little home-dried cilantro. Thanks for posting! Made for Spring 2010 PAC.

I've been married 26 years to my DH. We've lived all over the US and in Scotland. We've finally made our way back to our native Texas about 6 years ago. I've been collecting recipes for most of those years so I'm really glad to have this site to store some of my favorites. I grew up cooking classic Texas and Tex Mex foods.One of my favorite cookbooks is "Texas Home Cooking". It is full of what I consider to be the very best versions of all the classic Texan and Tex-Mex recipes. I'm trying to learn more healthy food prep and recipes these days, so I frequently try to lighten up my standard, go-to recipes.
