Preparation
1
Prep

  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Peel, then cut half the onion (use whole onion for 4 servings) into 1/2-inch pieces.

2
Cook veggies

  • Heat a large pot over medium-high. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil then peppers, onions and corn. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 4-6 min, stirring often, until tender-crisp and golden.
  • Transfer veggies to a plate.

3
Start stew

  • Reheat the same pot over medium-high. 
  • When hot, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil then beef. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 4-5 min, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.** Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
  • Add veggies, Tex-Mex paste, chipotle sauce, beef stock powder and tomato sauce base. Stir to mix.

4
Finish stew and prep

  • Add 1 1/2 cups (2 1/2 cups) water. Bring to a simmer over high. Reduce to medium. Cook 4-7 min, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender and stew has thickened slightly. (TIP: If you prefer a brothier consistency, add water 1-2 tbsp at a time.)
  • Meanwhile, open one corner of the tortilla chips. Using hands or a pot, crush chips until they are 1/2-inch pieces.

5
Finish and serve

  • Season stew with salt and pepper.
  • Divide stew between bowls.
  • Top with half the crushed tortilla chips (use all for 4 servings).
  • Dollop sour cream over top.
  • Sprinkle feta over top.
