Chalupa Cabra

Meet Chalupa Cabra—a beast of a stew that doesn’t suck goats. This unapologetically rich braise leans hard into the Mexican flavor wheel: smoky Ancho and Pasilla chiles, warm spices, garlic, brown sugar, tomato paste, with hits of vinegar and citrus to keep it honest. It lands on Navajo-style fry bread with a swipe of refried beans and gets smothered in queso fresco, corn relish, cilantro, raw onion, and a few Thai chiles for that “regret it later” heat. It's messy, over-the-top, and probably not doctor-approved. But hey, neither is adulthood. Dig in, if you dare.
