Turn the heat low and let everything cook gently for 20 minutes. The potatoes will soften nicely while the flavors come together.

Add the ground beef and garlic into the pot. Stir and break it up with a wooden utensil, cooking it about halfway for 5 minutes.
03 -
Warm the oil over medium heat in a big pan. Toss in the potatoes, onion, and all your peppers. Cook them for about 5 minutes until they're softer.
04 -
Throw in the chopped tomatoes, all the spices, and the beef broth. Stir together thoroughly.
05 -
Spoon this over warm rice or roll it into tortillas. Top with fresh lime, chili flakes, or a splash of hot sauce if you like things spicier.
# Notes:
01 -
If you prefer, swap the beef for chicken, turkey, or pork.
02 -
You can make it as spicy or mild as you'd like.
03 -
Try adding other traditional items like raisins, carrots, almonds, or olives.
