• Feel free to add vegetables like carrots, potatoes, or bell peppers to the stew for added texture and flavor.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover stew can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the stew on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of broth or water to prevent it from drying out.
• Serve the reheated stew with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for a burst of freshness.
