I also make Mexican rice on the side to add in it once it’s almost done. Or you can have people add in when they serve their bowl some people like more then others
Fill pot with water (this will be how much soup broth you would like) add garlic powder, beef boullion, cumin, pepper Boil the meat for like until it’s at your tender desire. Usually about 45 mins or so. Add tomato sauce and I taste broth to see if it’s at the flavor that i would like. If not i add more beef boullion and garlic until it gets there. I add carrots, zucinni and potato’s. This is when i add rice if your adding it to pot. Let them boil for about 10 mins or until they are at desired tenderness. Then I add corn on the cob and cabbage and simmer it for 5 mins. Then it done.
I also make a really spicy salsa, or pico de Gallo to add to Individual bowls. Cut a limes for people’s individual bowls.
