Description

This Filipino beef picadillo recipe is prepared with basic ingredients. Picadillo is the perfect combination of meat and vegetables. This is usually prepared with ground beef or ground pork seasoned with certain spices. In this recipe version, we use ground beef and a pack of mixed vegetables. Fresh vegetables will also do. Picadillo is one of my favorite dishes since it is so simple to make and tastes so good. You can add manzanilla olives and raisins to this recipe if desired; it tastes better. We usually eat this dish with rice or wrapped in tortillas like a taco. It is also best served as a filling for empanadas. Try our easy and delicious Filipino beef picadillo recipe.
