What is Carne Molida?

Carne molida is a traditional Mexican dish that translates to “ground meat” in English. It is typically made with ground beef, but it can also be prepared using ground pork or a combination of both. Carne molida is often used as a filling for various dishes such as tacos, enchiladas, and chiles rellenos, or it can be served on its own with rice and beans.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound of ground beef
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 can of diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon of chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil

Instructions:

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are soft and translucent.
  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook until browned.
  4. Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat from the skillet.
  5. Add the diced tomatoes, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and let the carne molida simmer for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  7. Taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary.
  8. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the carne molida cool for a few minutes before serving.
  9. Serve the carne molida as a filling for tacos, enchiladas, or any other dish of your choice.

Tips:

  • For a spicier flavor, add some diced jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes to the skillet.
  • If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the diced tomatoes before adding them to the skillet.
  • Feel free to customize the dish by adding additional vegetables like corn or black beans.
  • Leftover carne molida can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
