G R E D I E N T S
2 lb lean beef cubed
2 medium onions chopped
1 15 oz jar Nopalitos (cactus) diced and liquid reserved
1 14 oz diced tomatoes (drained)
4 14 oz cans kidney beans (drained & rinsed)

1 beef bullion cube
salt, black pepper, garlic powder, water

S T R U C T I O N S
After
cubing the beef, rinse lightly in cold water and put in heavy 6 quart
pot with a tight-fitting lid. Sprinkle the meat with salt, pepper and
garlic powder to taste. Toss to coat the meat evenly. Cover and let
stand at room temperature for about 15 minutes to marinate.
Dissolve the beef bouillon cube in one cup boiling water and add to the
reserved liquid from the nopalitos. After marinating place meat
over high heat and cook until just barely done (do not brown). Stir
constantly to prevent sticking.
Reduce temperature to medium and add onions and bullion mixture. Cover
and simmer 10 minutes until the onions are just soft. Add tomatoes,
nopalitos and chili powder. Cover again and simmer 30 minutes. Add
beans and a little water if necessary to prevent scorching. Cover and
simmer another 30 minutes. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer another 30 minutes or until the
meat is nice and tender.
