Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 onion diced, sweet yellow
- 1 ½ lbs ground beef
- 1 ½ tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon cumin ground
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 Serrano peppers seeded and diced
- 8 oz tomato sauce canned
- 14.5 oz diced tomato petite, canned
- 1 russet potato peeled and cubed, large
- 12 oz green beans frozen
- 8 cups beef broth
- 7 oz fideo noodles also known as vermicelli, dried, in a package
- 6 cups pinto beans divided
- butter for serving
- queso fresco for serving
- cilantro for serving
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the canola oil followed by the onion. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes, then add the ground beef and continue to cook until crumbled and browned, about 5 minutes more.
- Stir in the garlic powder, cumin, coriander, chili powder, salt and pepper, and serrano peppers and stir until combined and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, potatoes, green beans and broth and stir to combine. Bring to a low boil, then reduce heat, cover and let simmer for 45 minutes. Stir in fideo noodles and continue to cook, covered, until noodles are soft, about 15 minutes more. Adjust seasoning as desired.
- Scoop fideo into bowls, tilt gently to the side, then add roughly ¾ cup of pinto beans with broth in the open portion of the bowl. Add a dollop of butter to the side with the beans and sprinkle the whole bowl with queso fresco and cilantro. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you don't have any homemade pinto beans on-hand, you can do the following with canned pinto beans:
- add whole cans to a pot, then cover with water until completely submerged, then add a smashed garlic clove or two, a sliced serrano chile, and a sprinkle of pepper (and salt if you purchase a salt-free variety)
- simmer on low at the same time you make the fideo, then serve
