Description
This quick and easy Mexican Picadillo dinner comes together in just 30 minutes with ground beef, potatoes, and a flavorful tomato-based sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ cup onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 cups potato, peeled and diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 1½ cup beef broth
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 bay leaf
Instructions
1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add ground beef. Cook over medium heat while breaking up the meat. Cook until mostly browned, drain grease and return to heat.
2. Add in diced onion, green bell pepper and potatoes. Continue to cook over medium heat until onion and peppers are softened. Add garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds.
3. Pour in tomato sauce and beef broth. Add in seasonings: salt, pepper, cumin, and coriander. Stir to combine. Add bay leaf.
4. Bring mixture to a simmer, cover and let cook for 10 minutes.
5. Remove lid, stir, and continue cooking with the lid off for an additional 10 minutes or until potatoes are softened and most of the liquid is gone.
6. Serve warm with flour tortillas and rice.
Notes
Additional vegetables such as peas or carrots can be added with the tomato sauce and broth to simmer and soften.
Fresh Roma tomatoes can be used instead of tomato sauce—dice and sauté or blend and add with broth.
Russet or gold potatoes both work well in this recipe.
