Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 large sweet yellow onion small diced
- 4 cloves of garlic minced
- 1/4 cup sofrito
- 1 pound ground 80/20 beef
- 1/2 tsp dry adobo
- 1 large potato small diced
- 10 pimiento-stuffed olives cut in half
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1/2 cup raisins optional
Instructions
- Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then add the onions, garlic, and sofrito. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the beef to the pan. Pour the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the beef, and then sprinkle the 1/2 teaspoon adobo on top. Stir and break up the beef into crumbles until well combined.
- Add the potatoes, olives, bay leaves, raisins (if using), water, and tomato paste to the pan. Stir until well combined.
- Increase the heat to high to bring the beef mixture to a boil.
- Lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and let cook for 10 minutes.
- Uncover and let simmer for another 10 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
- Lastly, remove the bay leaves and transfer the beef mixture to a bowl. Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Notes
- Store Puerto Rican Picadillo in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days to maintain its freshness. To freeze, use a freezer-safe container; it will stay good for about 3 months.
- When you're ready to enjoy it again, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight. To reheat, you have two convenient options: warm it in a saucepan over medium heat on the stovetop until heated through, or microwave it in a microwave-safe dish, stirring occasionally, until it's evenly heated.
