Beef Callos

This beef callos recipe is my simplified version as I didn't include an essential ingredient, the tripe. Nevertheless, it still tastes great and also healthier.

· 3 tbsp olive oil


· 4 cloves of garlic, crushed & chopped


· 1 onion, chopped

· 1 ½ cup tomato sauce
· ½ cup tomato ketchup


· 2 potatoes, cubes


· 1 carrots, cubes


· 1 cup garbanzo, peeled


· 1 green bell peppers, julienne

· 4 cup of water
· ½ kg beef sliced thinly or tripe, precook


· ½ cup bacon

· 2 tsp paprika
· salt and pepper to taste


Cook beef with 4cups of water, salt and pepper. Use pressure cooker if you want to soften the beef in a shorter amount of time. Set aside. Fry potatoes. Set aside.

In the same pan, sauté garlic until light brown then adds onion. Add the beef, tomato sauce, tomato ketchup and sauté for a few minutes. Add carrots and broth. Boil for 5mins. Add potatoes, garbanzos, green bell pepper, bacon and simmer for 5mins. Add paprika, salt and pepper to taste and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
