It’s really quick and easy to make, I make it a few times a month and make enough so we have leftovers which are great in tacos, stuffed peppers, empanadas and just about anything you can think of! This is a dish I grew up eating as a kid, and I always loved when my Mom was making it. My friends also loved eating over on nights picadillo was on the menu. I also have a Slow Cooker Picadillo, an Instant Pot Picadillo version, some great ways to use leftovers are Picadillo Empanadas made in the air fryer or Picadillo Quesadillas.,If I ask my daughters what they want for dinner, 9 out of 10 this is what they ask for. We usually serve it over brown rice with a quick slaw on the side.,
