Notes:
Prep Ingredients in Advance: Before you start cooking, chop all your vegetables, measure out your spices, and prepare your meat. This will streamline the cooking process and ensure everything is ready when you need it.
Choose Quality Ingredients: Opt for fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible. This can significantly enhance the flavor of your dish.
Adjust Seasonings to Taste: Since you prefer not to measure ingredients, tasting as you go is essential. Be sure to adjust the seasonings according to your preference to achieve the perfect balance of flavors.
Control the Heat: Depending on your spice tolerance, adjust the amount of smoked hatch green chiles you use. Remember, you can always add more spice later, but it’s challenging to reduce the heat once it’s too spicy.
Thicken the Sauce: If your stew isn’t thick enough, you can add more flour to achieve the desired consistency. Mix the flour with a little water before adding it to the dish to prevent clumping.
Don’t Overcook the Potatoes: Fry the potatoes until they’re golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Be mindful not to overcook them, as they can become mushy.
Serve with Accompaniments: While the recipe suggests serving with flour tortillas, feel free to get creative with your sides. Rice, beans, or a simple salad can complement the dish nicely.
