New mexico green chile stew. Literally means

Steps

---

Brown the meat in a large saucepan over medium heat.

---

Add potatoes and cook until the potatoes turn brown on the edges , about 10 minutes.

---

Add 1 / 2 cup onion , garlic and seasonings , cook for 3 minutes.

---

Add water and green chiles , cover and simmer on low heat until potatoes are tender , about 20-30 minutes.

---

Put limes in a small bowl , cilantro in a small bowl , lettuce in a small bowl , and the leftover onion - use them like condiments or garnishes that your guests can put in their soup if they would like.

---

This is just an option- since i now live in texas , most of my mexican friends use these condiments , and they really do enhance flavors and texture of soups like caldillo , posole , and menudo.

---

Enjoy !.
