Filipino Picadillo
This healthy Filipino Picadillo comes together in less than 30 minutes and is full of flavor, sure to be a new favorite easy weeknight dinner in your house. If you're serving anyone who doesn't like olives simply serve the chopped olives on the side rather than stirring them into the entire dish.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 (15 oz) can crushed tomatoes
- 2 Tablespoons hot sauce
- 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup green olives
Instructions
- In a skillet, heat the oil and ground meat over medium heat. Cook the meat, while breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until the meat is cooked through and no longer pink - about 10 minutes.
- Once the beef is browned, add the crushed tomatoes, hot sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, smoked paprika, oregano, cumin, cinnamon, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
- Stir to combine, then simmer for an additional 10 minutes before serving.
- While the picadillo simmers, use a cutting board and knife to finely chop the olives, then either stir them into the finished picadillo or serve them on the side so guests can top their own bowls.
Notes
Hint: If desired, garnish your Filipino Picadillo with chopped fresh cilantro.
