Let's Begin!

Prep: Dice the onion and garlic, and cut the beef into cubes. Prep your veggies: chop the corn, yuca, potato, and carrot.
Sear the Meat: Heat some oil in a large pot and brown the beef with Loisa Adobo and Sazon until itâ€™s golden on all sides.
Add Chicken & Aromatics: Add the chicken thigh to the pot with the diced onion and garlic. Let it cook for about 5 minutes.
Simmer: Pour in the chicken broth, water, and toss in your veggies (pumpkin, plantain, yuca, potato, carrot, corn). Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 40 minutes.
Final Touches: Stir occasionally, then add cilantro and oregano in the last 10 minutes. Adjust salt to taste. Squeeze that lime juice right before serving!
