Carne Guisada San Antonio Style image

If you're missing a Taste of San Antonio, this Carne Guisada recipe will take you back to Fiesta!!! I've used this in the place of Chili for Chili Cheese Dogs and have also made Frito Pie using the Carne Guisada and it was out of this world!!! Better than Taco Cabana's Carne Guisada, perfect for Breakfast tacos, served in a Torta...
