Method
 

Brown the Beef & Onion

  1. Stir in the diced green chiles, salt, and cumin. Pour in the broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Simmer the Potatoes
  1. Add the diced potatoes and maintain a medium-high boil for 10 minutes, letting the potatoes start to soften.
Finish with Tomatoes
  1. Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the flavors meld.
Serve
