Meat and aromatics

1 lb beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 tbsp olive oil

1 each yellow onion, diced

2 cloves Garlic, minced

1 each red bell pepper, diced

1 each Green bell pepper, diced

1 each jalapeño, minced

Pantry and spices

1 tsp Ground cumin

1 tsp Smoked paprika

1/2 tsp Chili powder

1/2 tsp Dried oregano

1 can crushed tomatoes, 14 oz can

1 cup beef broth

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 cup corn kernels

To Serve and Garnish

8 each corn tortillas

1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

1 each avocado, sliced

1/2 cup cotija or queso fresco, crumbled

2 each Lime wedges

Method

Brown the beef and aromatics

Brown the beef

Season the beef with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.

Sauté vegetables

In the same pot, add the onion, garlic, red and green bell peppers, and jalapeño. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Add spices

Stir in ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, and dried oregano. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Deglaze and build the sauce

Return the browned beef to the pot. Add crushed tomatoes and beef broth. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

If using, add corn kernels and season with salt to taste.

Simmer

Cover the pot and simmer gently for 25-30 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.

Prepare tortillas and toppings

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or on a griddle until pliable.

Prepare toppings: chop cilantro, slice avocado, crumble cotija, and cut lime into wedges.

To serve

Spoon cazuela filling into warm tortillas. Top with cilantro, avocado, cotija, and a squeeze of lime. Serve immediately.
