Carne guisada with ground beef and potatoes

Heat one tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, the green peppers and the jalapeno.

Saute three minutes. Add the diced roma tomatoes and cook one minute.

Add the minced garlic and cook 30 seconds.

Add the ground beef and season with chile powder, black pepper, ancho powder, cumin, oregano and salt. Break it up, mix and cook four minutes.

Add the diced potatoes, mix in and cook a further five minutes.

Reduce the heat to medium. Dissolve the flour and the beef bouillon into two cups of broth or water and mix until the flour is dissolved.

Pour the liquid over the meat and mix. Taste and adjust the salt.

Cover and cook 12 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes are soft.

Turn off the heat and stir in chopped cilantro. Serve with beans and flour tortillas.

Variation: paprika in place of the chile powder, bell pepper in place of the anaheim.
