  • 1 can olives stuffed with jalapeños La Costeña
  • 1 can Nopalitos La Costeña
  • 3 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, any color, finely diced
  • 1 carrot, peeled and diced
  • 1 lb. Ground beef
  • 16 oz tomato purée
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 3/4 cup of stock

Add cooking oil into a large skillet and sauté the diced potatoes until golden, around 5 minutes. Set them aside.
In the same skillet, sauté the onion and garlic. Once fragrant and translucent, add the bell pepper and carrot. Cook for a few more minutes and incorporate the ground beef.
Once the ground beef is brown, add the tomato purée and return the potatoes. Add the olives and nopalitos raisins if using.
Add the stock and season with cumin, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and serve with warm tortillas.
