Instructions
- Heat oil in large pot over medium heat. When hot, add onion, pepper, and garlic. Saute until softened but not colored, about 5 min.
- Add meat, water and Fat Cat Surprisingly Mild Guajillo Ghost Tex-Mex Hot Sauce and Marinade, and simmer for 10 minutes, making sure to blend all ingredients well and and break up meat.
- When meat is no longer pink, add tomato sauce, olives, raisins, sugar and nuts. Stir to combine well.
- Cook 10-15 minutes more, or until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Mixture should be saucy but not soupy. If mixture is too wet, continue cooking until the right consistency has been achieved.
