Picadillo is a popular dish in Latin America. The ingredients vary from country to country but it usually consists of ground beef, onions, peppers and tomato sauce. In Puerto Rico, picadillo also has olives, potatoes and sometimes raisins.
Picadillo is delicious to eat with white rice and beans. It’s also a great stuffing for empanadas, pasteles, papas rellenas and alcapurrias. Other side dishes that pair wonderfully with picadillo include tostones (fried green plantains), maduros (fried sweet plantains) and yuca with mojito.
