2. Combine Ingredients: Add the stewed tomatoes, diced carrots, chopped onion, taco seasoning mix, green chilies, and seasoned salt to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

3. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 40 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and the meat to become tender.

4. Prepare the Thickening Agent: While the stew simmers, mix the water and all-purpose flour in a small bowl until smooth. This will help thicken the stew.

5. Incorporate the Thickening Agent: Stir the flour mixture into the simmering stew. This step will give your stew a thicker, more satisfying texture.

6. Add Beans: Stir in the drained pinto beans. Continue to simmer for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the beans to heat through and the stew to reach your desired consistency.

7. Serve: Ladle the stew into bowls and serve hot. This stew pairs beautifully with warm crusty bread or over a bed of rice, making it a versatile dish for any meal.
