Carne con papas recipe exist in pretty much in all latin American countries cooked in different ways. This is the carne con papas recipe as we make it in the north of Mexico, specifically in my home town Chihuahua, right at the border with El Paso, Tx.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of ground beef
- 1/2 cup onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1.5 cup diced potatoes
- 1 cup poblano or anaheim pepper strips
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp olive oil
Instructions
- Cook the Potatoes:Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and sauté until golden brown and cooked through (about 8–10 minutes).
- Add Onion and Garlic:Stir in the chopped onion and garlic. Cook until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Brown the Ground Beef:Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Sprinkle in the salt, cumin, and oregano. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked.
- Add the Roasted Peppers:Stir in the poblano or Anaheim pepper strips. Let the flavors meld together for another 3–5 minutes.
- Optional Step: If you prefer a saucier dish, add ½ cup of tomato sauce or beef broth and let it simmer for a few minutes. For a drier version, allow the juices to cook down completely.
- Serve and Enjoy:Serve your carne molida con papas with warm tortillas, Mexican rice, or beans. Add your favorite toppings like queso fresco, sour cream, or avocado for extra flavor. Find here a list of taco toppings.
