San Antonio Style Picadillo~
1 lb lean ground beef 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/4" cubes 1/2 cup yellow onion, diced fine (1/4" or less) 1 tablespoon fresh garlic, minced fine 1 tablespoon canola oil 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper 1 teaspoon ground cumino 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 tomato diced 1 cup of mexican rice
Directions~ Heat a large skillet and, when hot, add the oil~Add the ground beef, crumbling as you put it in the skillet~ When lightly browned, add the onion, rice, garlic, and all the spices~Cook for 10 minutes, stirring often, and then add the diced potatoes~Cover, reduce the heat to medium low and cook for 40 minutes or until the potatoes are tender~ Add the tomatoes, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes~ Remove from the heat, serve on some hot flour tortillas & a red creme soda~
Use as a filing for tacos, enchiladas or Chiles Rellenos (stuffed peppers) Picadillo can also be served as an appetizer dip with tortilla chips~

Translation: "a red creme soda~" = Big Red Soda Pop Picadillo is also an excellent stuffing for Gorditas, Tortas, Chalupas ( or tostado, just treat it like a big flat taco), or mixing in with some prepared Chile con Queso... again on the tostado or the chip..
If you make Chiles Rellanos, remember you don't have to deep fat fry them, they can be oven baked.. and it's healthier for ya!

I like Picadillo with Gorditos and refried beans. Fresh Sliced Tomatoes and little Green Onions on the side. You can stuff your Gordito with either the meat and\or the beans.
