Picadillo is a dish where all the ingredients are very finely chopped. This type of recipe is very popular not only in Mexico but all around Latin america and Spain. It can be made with mince beef, pork, chicken or sometimes seafood, but the meat always has to be minced. In my family my mum’s picadillo is the best, she uses some of the traditional ingredients for a picadillo, like carrots, potatoes and olives, but she adds some tomato purée to hers.
It is a very versatile recipe as it can be eaten with some refried beans (like in the picture) or as a filling for empanadas,
