Ingredients
Method
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until deeply browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain excess fat and transfer beef to a plate.
- To the same skillet, add onion, jalapeño, and potato. Cook, stirring often, until onion softens and potatoes begin to color, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, cumin, and oregano and cook 30 seconds.
- Return beef to the skillet. Add tomato sauce, broth, bay leaf, salt, pepper, raisins, and olives. Stir, bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and sauce thickens.
- Remove bay leaf. Spoon into bowls, top with cilantro, and serve hot.
Notes
This picadillo tastes even better after a 5-minute rest off the heat. The sauce will thicken slightly as it sits. Leftovers keep well and make a great meal-prep option.
