Description
A savory Mexican ground beef hash with tender potatoes, tomatoes, and aromatic spices. Perfect as a taco filling, empanada stuffing, or a hearty main dish. Bold flavors in under 45 minutes with minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef (halal-certified if desired)
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced (about 1½ cups)
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 cups beef broth (vegetable broth optional)
2 tablespoons oil (avocado or sunflower oil recommended)
Instructions
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Brown the ground beef, breaking into small pieces, until browned.
Toast cumin and coriander in the skillet for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add chopped onion and garlic; sauté until translucent (5 minutes).
Toss in diced potatoes and stir to coat with spices.
Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato paste, broth, salt, and pepper.
Reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes until potatoes are tender and liquids reduce slightly.
Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm as a main dish or stuff into tortillas.
Notes
For vegan/halal adjustments, substitute ground beef with lentils or mushrooms and use vegetable broth.
Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 days; flavors improve after 12 hours.
Optional additions: add corn, olives, or raisins for regional variations.
