Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 large onion peeled and chopped
- 4-5 cloves garlic minced
- 1-2 Serrano peppers seeded and chopped
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- 2 pounds ground beef (I used beef chuck.)
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 15 ounce can tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar
- 1 cup pimento stuffed green olives drained and sliced
- ¾ cup raisins
Instructions
- Set a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the oil, chopped onions, garlic, serrano peppers, and cilantro. Saute for 3-5 minutes to soften.
- Add in the ground beef, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, and salt. Brown the beef, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon, 5-8 minutes.
- Once the meat is cooked, add in the tomato sauce, vinegar, olives, and raisins. Simmer and stir another 5-7 minutes, until the sauce tightens around the meat.
- Serve warm with rice or as a taco filling.
Notes
- This recipe is excellent to make as part of your weekly meal prep. It keeps well in the fridge stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days. The flavors get even better as they settle together!You can freeze for up to 3 months, but note that the olives and raisins won't have quite the same great tenderness when frozen, defrosted, and reheated.
