Mexican Style Meat and Vegetable Stew – Azteca’s Molcajete,Here’s my take on Azteca Restaurant’s Molcajete stew. Delicious! Don’t let the long ingredient list bother you… although there are a lot of them, this recipe is actually quite easy to put together. Quick and easy!,Such a good hearty meal! I liked the idea of adding beans into it, and will definitely try that next time! The spices were perfect, not too spicy, just perfect!

Note: to Make the Seafood Version of Azteca's Molcajete, Omit the Chicken/Beef and Instead Have 1/2 Pound Shelled and Deveined Shrimp, 1/2 Pound Scallops, and as Much Skinned and Deboned Whitefish Fillet Pieces as You'd Like (about 1/4 Pound or More) Which You Will Add in During the Last 5 Minutes of Cooking. |

Note #2: We've Also Added a Can of Black Beans to the Recipe, to Good Effect. If the Soup Isn't as Thick as You'd Like It to Be, Try Adding a Can of Refried Beans - It Works Well! We've Also Served It With Crisp Tortilla Strips and a Dollop of Mexican Crema Instead of Monterey Jack. It's a Versatile Recipe, So Experiment and Enjoy Yourself! :) If You Have Made the Rich and Delicious Enchilada Sauce Recipe of Mine, You Might Recognize Many of the Soup Ingredients - to Make the Sauce Into Soup, Use 2 Cups of the Sauce, Add 1 Cup Hot Water and 1/2 Teaspoon Chicken Stock Granules, Then Add the Cooked Chicken and Garnish Ingredients as Usual. |
