Everyday picadillo (Picadillo sencillo) from Latinísimo: Home Recipes from the Twenty-One Countries of Latin America (page 449) by Sandra A. Gutierrez

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    I started with this recipe but with red bell peppers and a large jalapeño. It seemed very plain so I added a can of Ro-tel (dicd tomatoes and chiles, a Tex-Mex standard) and chile powder till it was a mash-up of both picadillo recipes with a nod to Amá. We enjoyed this in tacos, but not enough to replace the Amá recipe in my repertoire.
