What it is
A traditional indigenous stew, famously complex and celebratory, often featuring a blend of pork, turkey, and beef simmered in a rich sauce of roasted chiles, tomatoes, and tomatillos. Modified to omit traditional masa-based thickeners and served without high-carb sides.
Key ingredients
Pork chunks, turkey pieces, beef chunks, various dried chiles (e.g., guaque, pasa), tomatoes, tomatillos, onions, garlic, bell peppers, bay leaves, thyme, cooking oil (e.g., lard), salt.
If you order it anyway
Crucially, request no masa or other starch thickeners in the stew. Ask for no rice or tamalitos on the side.
Watch out for
Traditional masa or bread thickeners, hidden sugars in the elaborate sauce base, starchy root vegetables if added.
