MEXICAN MEAL PREP FOR WEIGHT LOSS: CARNE A LA MEXICANA

1. Roast the poblano peppers using your desired method - air fry with oil at 375° F for 10 minutes. Let them rest for 15 minutes before peeling, deseeding, and chopping. 
2. Chop vegetables and beef into 1 inch pieces. 
3. Grease a pan with avocado oil spray and add the beef. Cook for 4 minutes and season with 2 minced garlic cloves, carne asada seasoning, and any other seasonings. 
4. Add in the onions. Cook for 3 minutes. 
5. Add in the tomatoes and poblanos. Cook for 4 minutes. 
6. Add in the tomato sauce. Mix well, cover, and cook for additional 5 minutes or until everything is cooked through. Top with cilantro. 
7. In your olla, add warm water. Add in 2 garlic cloves, 1/4 of the onion, and beans. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, lower the temperature to a simmer. Check periodically and stir. Add warm water as needed. 
8. After an hour check the beans and add salt. If they aren’t ready cook for another 30 minutes. Beans should be soft enough to bite but firm enough to hold their shape. 
9. Divide into 4 equal servings (about 1 cup beef mixture) and serve with a side of choice - frijoles de la olla.
