MEXICAN MEALS FOR WEIGHT LOSS: CARNE EN SU JUGO 🥩
30 mins prepServes 4
When I had this dish in Guadalajara, I just knew I had to recreate it. I used leaner meat and added some greens in there but other than that it’s the dish you know and love. This platillo packs protein, veggies, and fiber rich carbs.
1. Add about 6 cups of water to a pot. Once boiling, add 1/4 of the onion, 3 garlic cloves, and beans. Cover and let it boil for 1 hour. Add salt and cook for an additional 30-60 minutes.
2. Roast the tomatillos, poblano pepper, and jalapeños using your preferred method. I air fry at 375 F for 10 minutes.
3. Let the poblano pepper sweat for 10-15 minutes before removing the skin, seeds, and stem.
4. Blend the roasted vegetables with 1/2 cup water, 1/4 of an onion, 4 garlic cloves, salt (or chicken bouillon) to taste, cilantro, and spinach (optional).
5. Chop green onions in half and 8 bacon slices into bite size pieces.
6. Cook the bacon in the pan for 4-5 minutes. Then add the green onions and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until they are cooked through.
7. Remove the green onions and bacon pieces.
8. In the same pan, brown the meat for 5-6 minutes. Season with garlic salt and pepper to taste.
9. Bring the heat down and add the green salsa. Cover and cook for 6 minutes.
10. Add the bacon, strained beans, and green onions back into the pot with additional seasonings if needed. Add the broth of your choice depending on how soupy you like it. Mix well, cover, and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
11. Each serving is about 2 cups of the guisado. Add toppings of choice including radishes, avocado, and/or more onion and cilantro.
