Carne guisada · San Antonio
Carne guisada is a Tex-Mex beef stew: chunks of chuck braised in a peppery, lightly thickened gravy with tomato, onion, garlic, and cumin until the meat is tender.
Carne guisada is a south-Texas home-cooking staple that moved onto taqueria menus across San Antonio, where it became one of the defining fillings for both breakfast and lunch tacos. Family cafes on the West and South Sides built reputations on their version of the gravy, and it remains a daily-eaten benchmark of a good neighbourhood Tex-Mex kitchen.
