Caldillo -- South of the Border Stew image

This is a nice stew; make it as spicy as you like by adding or reducing the amounts of chili peppers. I happen to be fond of Ancho Chili Peppers. Please feel free to substitute your own favorites! Serve with your choice of tortillas

I was disappointed with this caldillo. The beef was tough and the vegetables were overcooked. The broth was also bland.

This caldillo was easy to make and very tasty. I used ground beef instead of steak and it turned out great. I also added some corn and black beans to the stew.

I made this caldillo last night and it was a hit with my family! The beef was so tender and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. The broth was also very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
