This stew may be varied in several ways by adding other vegetables such as corn or green beans. Here, in the Southwest, we add hominy instead of corn as our vegetable of choice. You can also spice up this stew a bit more by adding chopped jalapenos during the last step of this recipe (step #3). We also recommend serving this dish with grated cheese or cilantro sprinkled over each bowl, with a side of green chile cornbread.
