    Today I have simple and comforting Chorizo and Beef Picadillo recipe made with Hunt's® tomato sauce and served over white rice. This  variation of the Cuban style beef picadillo has definitely earned itself a spot on my list of favorite go-to recipes, and is absolutely one that I will be making again and again. Picadillo is a traditional dish in Spain and Latin America. It's typically made with ground beef, tomatoes, vegetables, spices and other ingredients that vary according to country, region and the cook. It is usually served with white rice or used as a filling in dishes such as stuffed potatoes (papas rellenas), croquettes and empanadas.

    Many authentic Hispanic dishes call for the use of tomatoes and Latin women are known for using fresh, natural, quality ingredients when they cook for their families. Cooking with such ingredients are a way of life for Latinas, a tradition passed down from our mothers and our grandmothers! If you open my pantry, you will find many varieties of Hunt's® products that I use in all types of meals. According to Hunt's® ,their tomato products have no artificial preservatives and are 100% natural. All Hunt's tomatoes are grown in sunny Oakdale, California, a perfect climate for the reddest, juiciest tomatoes that provide the best ingredients for Hunt's® all-natural Tomato Sauce.

    This is a fabulous dish with a lot of flavor that had just the right amount of sweetness. This recipe isn't exactly a 30-minute meal, it takes a little bit of time and preparation, but if you have a few extra minutes, this Chorizo and Beef Picadillo is totally worth it. You can pull together your side dishes and lay the table while it simmers! I urge you to run, not walk, into the kitchen and get a pan of this started. I served the picadillo with white rice, avocado, and fried green plantains (patacones). If you like Latin food, you need to have this picadillo in your rotation! Buen provecho!

      That looks flat out delicious. Picadillo is something I've been wanting to make. It's that "olive thing". 🙂 Thanks for the recipe.

        You can do it, but I like to use the fat for flavor. I used yellow potatoes and they cooked very fast, but you can cook them first and add them to the dish at the end.

      Also my potatoes are not cooked after the 30 minutes. I think they should be partially boiled or microwaved first maybe? Lol as you can see, not a great cook here but trying!

          You can partially cook the potatoes, before adding them to the picadillo.

      I think 1 cup of red wine may have been waaaay to much :/ my family wasn't a fan of the flavor 🙁

      Made this dish last night - Yum!
      I used little purple potatoes, my white ones were sprouting & old, they cooked perfectly.
      I usually make a picadillio that is sweeter. It has cinnamon & nutmeg and calls for Sofrito -
      This was a nice change!
      Thank you!
