Notes

To enhance the flavor of your Green Chili Stew, consider roasting your own green chilies for a smoky depth. Additionally, adjust the spice level to your preference by adding more or fewer chilies. For a thicker stew, mash a few of the cooked potatoes directly in the pot before serving. Serve with warm tortillas or bread for a complete meal.
