Picadillo is a traditional dish popular in many Latin American countries, particularly in Cuba and Mexico. It typically consists of ground meat, usually beef, cooked with onions, garlic, and bell peppers. The dish is often seasoned with spices like cumin and oregano, and may include ingredients such as olives, raisins, and tomatoes, giving it a unique sweet and savory flavor.
Served with rice and beans, Picadillo is a comforting and hearty meal. Variations exist across regions, with each culture adding its own twist. In Cuba, for example, it is commonly enjoyed with fried plantains, while in Mexico, it may be served in tacos or burritos.
