A warm, hearty stew in an hour or less—yes, please. This perfectly piquant stew gets its flavor from tomatillo (a Mexican green tomato) and hominy, a widely underused form of corn. If a tomatillo isn’t available, substitute a red tomato and a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice in its place. The chicken and pinto beans in a generous serving size will keep you full, while the jalapeno pepper will add spice to the soup. It's a perfect weeknight dinner option since you can throw all the ingredients in one large nonstick skillet in three easy steps, and less than an hour later, it's time to eat.
