Chile chicken and bean guisado

This brothy stew featuring buttery white beans and ground chicken captures the unmistakable flavors of Mexican chorizo in a tomato pan sauce spiked with vinegar and a hint of cinnamon. Ancho chile powder (made from sun-ripened, dried poblanos) adds fruity, spicy, smoky notes and remarkable depth, though any chile powder works well. Stirring in whatever quick-cooking greens need eating from your fridge transforms the meal into a complete one-pot dinner in just over 30 minutes. But don't worry if you leave them out--this guisado stands up deliciously all on its own. It's also especially satisfying the next day with scrambled eggs in breakfast tacos.
