  • 1½ pounds lean beef (such as sirloin)
  • 1 cups diced green chile (roasted and peeled, fresh or frozen)

  • ½ teaspoon salt

Directions:

  1. Cut beef into chunks or strips.
  2. Add all ingredients except cornstarch to skillet.
  3. Simmer, covered, for about 30 minnutes. You may need to add a little water so mixture simmers well. (Don’t add too much water or mixture will get soupy.)
  4. Add cornstarch to small amount of water to make a smooth paste. Add to meat mixture and stir.
  5. Cook until cornstarch thickens (about 5 more minutes).
  6. Note: This dish can be served as an entrée or as a burrito filling. When you buy flour tortillas for burritos, choose those that are thinner or smaller, because they have fewer calories and carbohydrate.
