Green Chili Stew

Here is my recipe for green chili stew.

You will need:

One pound of ground beef
Four average size Russet potatoes peeled and cut in one inch cubes
One medium size yellow onion chopped
3-4 cloves of garlic minced
4-6 green chilies roasted, peeled and chopped
One cup dried pinto beans
Pinch of oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste

Here's how you do it:

Boil the beans covered with water for a few minutes and rinse
Return the beans to the stove with 5 cups of water and continue boiling
When the beans are nearly done (slightly crunchy) add the potatoes
Brown the ground beef with the onion and garlic
When the potatoes and beans are done add the beef mixture and spices
Simmer about 10 minutes and serve with warmed tortillas

Notes:
Add water as necessary to keep the stew under 1/2" of water.
Add the onions later in the process to keep them crisper.
Beans take a while to cook and will go faster the longer you presoak them.
