Cooking Steps
- Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Peel, then cut half the onion (whole for 4 ppl) into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat (use same for 4 ppl). When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil then peppers, onions and corn. Season with salt and pepper. Cook stirring often until tender-crisp and golden, 4-6 min.
- Transfer veggies to a plate.
- Reheat the same pot over medium-high.
- When hot, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil then beef. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
- Add veggies, Tex-Mex paste, chipotle sauce, beef stock powder and tomato sauce base. Stir to mix.
- Add 1 1/2 cup (2 1/2 cups) water. Bring to a simmer over high. Reduce to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally until veggies are tender and stew has thickened slightly, 4-7 min. (Tip: if you prefer a brothier consistency, add water 1-2 tbsp at a time, if desired.)
- Meanwhile, open one corner of the tortilla chips. Using hands or a pot, crush chips until they are 1/2-inch peices.
- Season stew to taste with salt and pepper.
