MEXICAN MEAL PREP: CARNE MOLIDA EN CHILE NEGRO

1. In a pot, boil the chiles for 6 minutes and then add the tomatoes. Boil for an additional 8-10 minutes or until the skin of the tomato has blistered. Turn off the heat and let it cool.
2. While the chiles & tomatoes cool off, chop 1/4 of the onion, zucchini, bell peppers, and potatoes.
3. In a blender, add the cooled chiles, tomatoes, 1/4 of the onion, garlic cloves, and 1/2 c of water you boiled the chiles in, and chicken bouillon (or salt) to taste. Blend well.
4. Grease a pan with avocado oil spray and cook the chopped onion for 3 minutes.
5. Add in the ground beef and brown for 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Mix in the salsa, potatoes, and bell peppers. Cover and cook for 10 minutes.
7. Mix in 1/2 c beef broth (or water) and zucchini. Cover and cook for 10 additional minutes or until all the vegetables are cooked through. Top with chopped cilantro.
8. Divide into 4 even servings (~1.5 c guisado) and add toppings or sides of choice. I added frijoles de la olla to my meal prep.
