The word picadillo comes from the Spanish picar, or “to mince,” and as such, picadillo is typically made with ground beef. Ingredients vary by region, but picadillo usually includes Roma tomatoes (or tomato sauce), raisins, onion, and chile peppers. Picadillo can be served as a main dish with white rice, black beans, and plantains, or as a filling for tacos, burritos, and empanadas.
