Mayte Rueda

The stew is a very traditional recipe in Mexico, but the recipe is different in each region. For example, in Yucatan, pasta is added and the vegetables can be chopped and served separately.

This stew recipe is more similar to the Tabasco preparation, characterized by its concentrated broth, in this case beef, and a slightly thick texture due to the tubers and vegetables added.

Don’t miss this stew, as it is a delicious, very nutritious, and complete dish.
