One dish we talking about is Picadillo.  It is an easy-to-prepared, ground meat dish that is popular around Latin American especially in Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Cuba.  It is also a traditional dish in Spain and favorite dish in Mexican cuisines. The word “Picadillo” comes from “Picada” as in “Carne Picada” or chopped meat.  Each country has its own version with ingredients and how to serve it.

Picadillo Preparation

One version of this is Cuban classic, mixes ground beef with highly seasoned tomato sauce, fried tomatoes, raisin and green olives.  It is slightly saucy, often fills in empanadas or soft Tacos. One well-known version is Mexican Picadillo.  It is a common dish in most Mexican families.  It is a flavorful ground beef dish with raisin added for sweetness and tomato sauce for its tangy taste.  It can be served with rice or warm tortillas and can also use as a filling for Tacos, Empanadas or wraps.  And it goes very well with a glass of wine or a beer will be just fine.
