Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the chopped onion, cooking until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the crushed garlic cloves and diced potatoes to the skillet, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  3. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, apple cider vinegar, chipotle chile, adobo sauce, and ground cumin, mixing well to combine.
  4. Pour in the beef stock or water, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. Cook uncovered for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed before serving.
