Special Touch

Serve this stew topped with shredded Mexican cheese blend and chopped fresh cilantro leaves for an extra-special touch.

Substitution

Frozen small whole onions, also called pearl onions, are loaded with flavor and are so convenient to use. If you don’t have them on hand, you can substitute 1/2 cup chopped onion.
