About Chile colorado
Chile Colorado is a traditional Mexican stew known for its rich, bold flavors and vibrant red color. It features tender chunks of beef simmered in a sauce made from dried red chilies, garlic, onions, and various spices. The chilies—typically guajillo, ancho, or pasilla—lend depth and a smoky heat to the dish, while the beef provides protein and essential nutrients such as iron and zinc. The sauce is often thickened naturally with blended chilies, avoiding the need for added fats or flour. Chile Colorado is low in carbohydrates, making it a favorable option for certain diets. However, depending on preparation, it can be high in sodium if excessive salt or store-bought stock is used. Traditionally enjoyed with rice, beans, and tortillas, its nutrient profile may vary based on sides and portion sizes. For a balanced choice, pair it with fresh vegetables or whole-grain accompaniments.
