Our whole family loves foods spiced with picante sauce, so I developed this recipe! This dish is very quick and easy to make, and it also reheats well. Sometimes I add cooked, sliced potatoes to the stew for a little variety, too.

Tips:

  • Use fresh vegetables. Fresh vegetables will give your stew the best flavor and texture. If you can, buy your vegetables from a local farmer's market or organic grocer.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. When you add too many vegetables to the pot, they won't cook evenly and the stew will be watery. Add the vegetables in batches if necessary.
  • Season the stew to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to brighten up the flavors.
  • Let the stew simmer. Simmering allows the flavors to meld and develop. Simmer the stew for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time.
  • Serve the stew with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include sour cream, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro.
