About Picadillo
Picadillo is a traditional dish popular in Latin American and Spanish cuisines, known for its hearty and flavorful profile. At its core, it features ground meat—commonly beef, pork, or turkey—simmered with tomatoes, onions, garlic, and spices like cumin and oregano. Regional variations may include potatoes, raisins, olives, capers, or bell peppers for added texture and flavor. Typically served with rice or as a filling for tacos, empanadas, or tamales, Picadillo is a versatile comfort food. Nutritionally, Picadillo can be a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals from the meat and vegetables. Healthier versions often use lean meats and reduce added fats or sugars found in certain recipes. However, depending on preparation methods, Picadillo can be high in sodium or saturated fat, especially when fried or heavily salted. Pairing it with whole-grain sides or vegetable-based alternatives can boost its overall balance.
