Ingredients
- 5 roma tomatoes
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 yellow onion roughly chopped
- 4 cloves garlic roughly chopped
- 2 medium carrots roughly chopped
- 1 medium-large russet potato peeled and chopped
- 2 Jalapeno peppers finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Dalkin&Co Taco Seasoning
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- salt & pepper
- Hard taco shells to serve
- 1 large block cheddar cheese finely shredded
- 1 head iceberg lettuce finely shredded
Instructions
For the Sauce:
- Add the tomatoes and chicken stock in a blender and puree until smooth. Set aside.
For the Meat:
- In a large heavy bottom pan, add olive oil over medium high heat.
- Add the ground beef and ground pork. Break it into pieces with a wooden spoon and cook till browned. Add the onions, garlic, carrots, potatoes, and jalapeño peppers and sauté for 8-10 minutes until the carrots and potatoes start to cook down.
- Add the Dalkin&Co seasoning and a pinch of salt and pepper, stir until combined. Mix in tomato mixture and bring to a boil. Cover the pan and reduce heat to a simmer, cook 10-15 minutes until the carrots and potatoes are fully cooked.
- Adjust seasoning as needed and add in cilantro.
- Assemble tacos with a spoonful of the meat mixture, pinch of iceberg lettuce and a large handful of freshly shredded cheddar and serve.
Notes
- My favorite way to serve picadillo as the main dish is in hard taco shells with a boatload of shredded cheddar cheese sprinkled on top. You can also serve Mexican picadillo with rice and beans, over mashed potatoes, on a tostada, or swap it for the taco meat in a taco salad.
