For a vegetarian version, omit the pork and consider adding a can of drained and rinsed pinto beans or black beans along with the potatoes for added protein and texture. Roasting your own chiles is highly recommended for the best flavor. You can roast them over an open flame on a gas stovetop, under a broiler, or on a grill until the skins are blackened. Place the roasted chiles in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for 10 minutes to steam, which makes peeling the skins easier. The heat level of this stew can be adjusted by using more or fewer serrano peppers, or by removing the seeds and membranes from the serranos before dicing. Serve with warm tortillas, a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for a complete and satisfying meal.
