Guisado is a flavorful stew rooted in Latin American cuisine, particularly popular in Mexican cooking. It typically consists of tender meat, such as beef, pork, or chicken, simmered with vegetables like bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, and garlic in a rich, spiced broth. Variations may include legumes, potatoes, or squash, creating hearty and satisfying meals. Guisado is often seasoned with regional spices and herbs, like cumin, oregano, or cilantro, bringing depth to its taste. While it is a great source of protein and packed with nutrient-rich vegetables, its healthiness depends on preparation. Versions cooked with lean meat and minimal oil are balanced, whereas those with richer cuts or excessive salt can be higher in fat or sodium. Served alongside rice, tortillas, or beans, guisado is a versatile dish that combines tradition, comfort, and nutritional benefits.
