"Just Add Tomatoes" Linditas' Instant Salsa Mix

I recently had a guest on my cooking show that needed quick recipe for a traditional family dish that she could prepare in 20 minutes or less. This recipe I can almost make with my eyes closed. This is one of our favorite recipes that will always bring back my childhood memories. It’s so easy to make and will have you coming back for more.

Lindita’s Papitas con Carne (potatoes & meat)

3 chopped and cubed potatoes
½ chopped yellow onion
1 large diced fresh tomato
1 lb. ground beef (buffalo, turkey) I prefer buffalo
1 table spoon unbleached flour
½ teaspoon garlic salt
a pinch of cumin
a pinch of black pepper
2 ½ cups of water

In a large skillet, brown meat, add flour and mix well for a minute or two. Add a ½ a cup of water, (to make a gravy like base), add onions, potatoes, tomatoes, spices. Quickly add 2 cups of water, mix well, cover and bring to a boil. Then simmer till potatoes are cooked to your liking. Serve with a side corn and warm tortillas, chips & Lindita’s Salsa!
