Ingredients
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1–2 garlic cloves, minced
2 Knorr chicken flavor bouillon cubes
1 lb ground beef
1 package (7 oz) fideo pasta (or broken vermicelli)
2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or canola)
3–4 cups water (adjust for desired consistency)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Prep the Sauce:
In a blender, combine chopped tomato, onion, garlic, and 1 cup of water. Blend until smooth and set aside.
Cook the Ground Beef:
In a large skillet or pot, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Season with a bit of salt and pepper. Remove from pan and set aside.
Fry the Fideo:
In the same pan, heat oil and add fideo pasta. Stir and toast until the noodles are golden brown, being careful not to burn.
Add the Sauce:
Pour the blended tomato mixture over the toasted fideo. Stir gently and cook for 2–3 minutes to let the flavors develop.
Add Potatoes and Seasoning:
Add diced potatoes, cooked ground beef, crumbled Knorr chicken cubes, and 2–3 more cups of water (enough to submerge the pasta and potatoes). Bring to a simmer.
Simmer Until Tender:
Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 15–20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and the fideo is cooked through. Stir occasionally and add more water if needed.
Taste and Serve:
Adjust salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, optionally with a side of tortillas or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Notes
For a spicier version, add a chopped jalapeño or a pinch of chili powder to the tomato blend.
You can swap ground beef for ground turkey or chorizo.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge and taste even better the next day!
