What To Serve With Mexican Beef Stew

When you make stew, its a hearty all in one meal. You have your protein, vegetables, and don’t forget those carbalicious potatoes. What I like to make with any stew is some kind of bread side. In fact, you can even make homemade breads in your Instant Pot. Besides serving rolls, biscuits, or other bread with your stew, you could make some Mexican appetizers. Here’s some ideas:

• Instant Pot Jalapeno Corn Dip
• Mexican Appetizer Cups
• Quesados
• Mexican Cheese Bites
