Picadillo Con Papas
Report
This Picadillo Con Papas isn’t Cuban Picadillo or Mexican Picadillo because it bursts with flavor with a spicy Tex-Mex kick that makes it perfect for tacos, empanadas, or your favorite Mexican dish.

Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1/2 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 medium russet potato, chopped
- 1 (10.5-ounce can) diced tomatoes and chilies (like RO*TEL)
- 1 (8-ounce can) tomato sauce
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 Tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Chopped cilantro or green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef. In a skillet over medium heat, add oil and add the ground beef. Stir the ground beef to break it up and to cook it until it is no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
- Add chopped onions to the ground beef. In the same skillet as the ground beef, add the chopped onions and bell pepper.
- Stir the onions, bell peppers, and browned ground beef until the onions are softened. Add the minced garlic and stir for about a minute.
- Add diced potatoes to the ground beef and onions. Stir in the diced potatoes. It is very important that the potatoes are cut into very small pieces so they will cook with the ground beef. If you use thicker potato chunks you may have to start cooking the potatoes before you brown the ground beef. Personally, I like to dice the potatoes so the pieces are about the same as the chopped onions.
- Add the Flavor. Add the diced tomatoes and chiles (with liquid), tomato sauce, and add the taco seasoning, cumin, salt, and pepper, and stir.
- Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro or chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
- Homemade Taco Seasoning.
- Taco Seasoning: For taco seasoning, you can use either store-bought packets or make your own Homemade Taco Seasoning.
- Cut the potatoes into small bite-sized pieces that are about the same sized as the chopped onions. They need to be cut very small in order to cook in the time allotted for this recipe.
- If you use larger pieces of potatoes in the recipe, then start cooking the potatoes first before you start cooking the ground beef. Add 2 Tablespoons oil, add the potatoes, cover, and cook for 5 minutes, or until potatoes are slightly browned. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and place in a bowl and cover with foil or paper town. Then continue with the recipe as written above.
