Directions:

Carne en Salsa Verde:

Cook the Meat:

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. If using stew meat, cook for a longer time until tender. Remove and set aside.

Prepare the Salsa Verde:

In a small pot, boil the tomatillos and chiles in water for about 5 minutes until softened. Drain and transfer to a blender. Add garlic, onion, cilantro, cumin, oregano, and 1/2 cup water. Blend until smooth.

Simmer the Salsa with Meat:

In the same skillet used to cook the meat, pour in the blended salsa verde and bring it to a simmer. Add the cooked meat and simmer for another 10-15 minutes, allowing the meat to absorb the flavors of the salsa. Adjust salt to taste.

Sopita de Fideo:

Toast the Fideo:

In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the fideo pasta and toast it, stirring frequently, until it turns golden brown. Be careful not to burn the pasta.

Sauté Onion and Garlic:

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot with the toasted fideo. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the onion softens and the garlic is fragrant.

Add Broth and Simmer:

Pour in the chicken broth and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the fideo is tender and has absorbed some of the broth.

Combine and Serve:

Serve the Sopita de Fideo in bowls and top each serving with a generous portion of Carne en Salsa Verde. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve with warm tortillas for a complete and comforting meal.
