In this recipe, chunks of lean beef are simmered with fresh tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, garlic, and Mexican seasonings to make a rich spicy gravy (guisada). Serve with warm tortillas and garnish with guacamole, sour cream, and/or cheddar cheese for awesome guisada tacos.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef. A chuck roast or rump roast is a good option for carne guisada, as it's a tough cut of meat that will become tender when cooked slowly in a liquid.
- Brown the beef before stewing it. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from becoming dry.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your carne guisada. Common vegetables include potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, and bell peppers.
- Season the carne guisada well. A good starting point is to use a tablespoon of chili powder, a teaspoon of cumin, and a teaspoon of garlic powder.
- Cook the carne guisada until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through. This can take anywhere from 1 to 2 hours, depending on the type of beef you're using.
Conclusion:
Carne guisada is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, beans, or tortillas. It's a great meal for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
