Note
For a thicker stew, you can increase the amount of flour slightly or let it simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes.
If you prefer more heat, add extra chili powder or use jalapeños instead of mild green chilies.
This stew tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
