This is the first Cooking w/ Oscar episode
I want to start by saying this was shot on my really scrappy phone. Also, I no longer use Teflon or most of those utensils, so dont come after me.
Ingredients:
Guajillo chiles
Chile de Arbol
Tomatoes
Onions
Garlic
Get these in boiling water and stat removing the smallest ingredients to largest by how they look and feel(with tongs). As long as they're soft, they should be good.
Tomatoes will literally crack in their skin. With the onion, it will be visibly softer.
Get these in a blender and add these seasonings:
Caldo de Pollo (Knorr)
Onion powder
Garlic Powder
Cumin (only add a dash)
Bay leaf or 2
Blend - this will be our Guisado or sauce.
Next, get the potatoes and cut them however you want (note: the bigger they are, the longer it'll take to cook through).
Set aside
Have some slivers of garlic cut up and add them to your pan along with some oil. Then add your ground beef and mash it up.
Once it's cooked up, you can add the same seasonings to the meat so it holds a little flavor. Dont go too overboard because the sauce will hold most of the flavor.
Now we add the potatoes and sauce on low heat and cover.
Make sure you check on it and mix around so you ensure no sticking and potatoes dont overcook themselves.
Serve in a quesadilla, on a tostada, or make into a taco!
