- 1 tsp (5 ml). coriander seeds
- 1 Tbsp (15 ml). vegetable or olive oil
- 1 pound (454 g) lean ground beef ((optional for vegetarians*))
- 1/2 medium onion, (minced)
- 3 large garlic cloves, (minced)
- 4 to 6 cup (1200 ml) s homemade chicken or vegetable stock ((varies with amount of chile used))
- 1 to 3 cup (480 ml) s roasted, peeled, chopped green chile*

- 1/4 to 1/2 tsp (3 ml). salt, (to taste)
- 6 Flour or corn tortillas

Instructions
- Warm a Dutch oven over a medium-low flame. Place the coriander seeds in the pan and shake frequently for about 2 to 3 minutes until they release their aroma and turn a light brown. Move the seeds to a spice grinder or mortar and crush them.
- Pour the oil into the hot pot along with the ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Stir regularly for 4 minutes as they cook.
- Introduce 4 cups of stock, the chopped green chile, and ½ teaspoon of the ground coriander to the pot. Let it simmer for 15 minutes, adding extra liquid if necessary.
- Stir in the cooked pinto beans and let them heat through for 10 minutes. Taste the stew and season with salt if required.
- Dish out the stew and sprinkle grated cheese and minced onion on top of each serving.
- Accompany with warmed flour tortillas, corn tortillas, or cornbread.
Notes
- Consider omitting ground beef and adding extra pinto beans for a vegetarian twist.
- Adjust green chile quantity to suit your spice preference, starting with 1 cup and adding more if desired.
- Enhance the stew’s flavor by using homemade chicken or vegetable stock, and top with grated cheese and minced onion before serving.
