I made it!!! I’m not Guatemalan but my husband is and he loved it. My husband’s mom use to make it for us every Thanksgiving or Christmas. She sadly passed away earlier this year and it has been really hard on my family. Making this recipe and having it taste so similar to my mother in law’s really brought happiness to my family. Thank you.

This just made our day thank you for sharing and so happy we were able to bring some of the Guatemalan traditions to your home. You are an official Chapina now haha ❤️👌

I’m in the same situation kind of. Once my mother in law returned to Guatemala due to poor health I have had to search You Tube to learn how to make all my husbands favorite foods. This recipe is very easy compared to others.

Thanks so much for sharing this recipe with us here and how to make it step by step and all. I made some here this evening and my daughter's husband is Guatemalan and I wanted to make it here for him and his two brothers to enjoy and oh my goodness it turned out so delicious and they were all so very happy to get to be eating that delicious 😋 food and I liked it so much too. I'll be looking for some more Guatemalan recipes to try to make here and once again thanks so much. 😊

IM LOOKING TO MAKE THIS DISH... i love hilachas have been craving some for a while just found out its a guatemalan dish. and this makes me even more proud. however we are having a discussion with my mother about what kind of meat is used to make this dish.. i love exploring meat cuts. SO IF I CAN MAKE A SUGGESTION OR AN EDIT ON YOUR VIDEO PLEASE? at 0:39 you wrote start of with FLANK (FALDA), HOWEVER THESE ARE TWO DIFFERENT CUTS OF MEAT... Flank is Bolovique AND Skirt is Falda... both come from around the same area... just Bolovique is more tender and thicker vs Falda is more thinner and intense flavor! Which you put would give you different results. But you're confusing people by saying one thing and writing another one. so when they go buy that meat theyre gonna get something else!! Im assuming you're using FALDA which is skirt and instead you're telling them to go buy FLANK which is bolovique... so they might end up with something different. ALTHOUGH THIS DISH CAN BE MADE WITH EITHER OR... thank you

[@Wiseowlmediagroup]

I see, thanks I'm actually going to ask my mom too because I think thats how she's been ordering and maybe its wrong oh no, so thanks again

[@kimberlysanchez9580]

Can you give me advice on how to cook the meat correctly because mine comes out really chewy.

[@Wiseowlmediagroup]

That could be a sign that the meat is dry and overcooked, try putting more liquid into the meat when you're initially boiling it...

[@fuentesfamily7369]

Now can you teach me how to make Guatemalan chicken stew?

[@Wiseowlmediagroup]

we will add that to the list, we love soaps

[@stepcollazo8134]

That’s like ropa vieja to us Dominican people..that how we call it
