Beef with Green Chile

Ingredients

1½ pounds lean beef (such as sirloin)
1 cups diced green chile
span> (roasted and peeled, fresh or frozen)
1 onion, sliced in rings
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt

Directions
  1. Cut beef into chunks or strips.
  2. Add all ingredients except cornstarch to skillet.
  3. Simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes. You may need to add a little water so mixture simmers well. (Don’t add too much water or mixture will get soupy.)
  4. Add cornstarch to small amount of water to make a smooth paste. Add to meat mixture and stir.
  5. Cook until cornstarch thickens (about 5 more minutes).

Note: This dish can be served as an entrée or as a burrito filling. When you buy flour tortillas for burritos, choose those that are thinner or smaller, because they have fewer calories and carbohydrate.
