Because I don't use a pressure cooker, I browned the meat and sauted the onions and garlic, put both back in the pan, added the water, brought to a boil and simmered for about 30 mins. Added the rest of the ingredients (substituting a rinsed can of pinto beans) and brought to a boil, simmered for about 30 mins more. Added cilantro before serving. Yummy!04/26/08
