Picadillo

Nana's version of a favorite for tacos.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef

  • 1 medium potato (diced small)

  • 2 large slivers of a bell pepper

  • 2 chicken/tomato bouillon cubes

  • ¼ onion (preferably wedge from the end)

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp comino

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a medium skillet on medium heat. Drail well.

  2. Add the potatoes, bell pepper, onion, spices.

  3. Add just enough water to cover beef/potato mixture (3/4-1 cup) and turn heat to low/medium.

  4. Crush the bouillon cubes and add to the skillet. Be sure to break up any large chunks of the cube so that they can dissolve in the liquid.

  5. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes until potatoes are soft, stirring occasionally.

  6. Enjoy with warm flour tortillas and shredded cheese.
