Excellent and very simple. However, I use cumin seeds and toast them. Then I grind them. This makes it come out so wonderful.

Thanks for posting this recipe. It is identical in taste and texture to the Guisada that is served here in Mexican Restaurants. Other recipes with tomato paste weren't what I was looking for! I serve with Homade Tortillas, Spanish Rice and Beans. Yum-o
