instant pot picadillo

Picadillo is the dish I make the most in my home. It's the most requested by my kids and it's so easy to make. Great over rice, in tacos and more!

Instant Pot Picadillo

93% beef

onion

garlic (minced)

(chopped)

salt

red bell pepper (finely chopped)

tbsp cilantro

tomato sauce (I like Goya)

tsp cumin

bay leaf

tbsp alcaparrado (capers or green olives would work too)

Press saute button, when hot brown meat and season with salt and pepper. Use a wooden spoon to break the meat up into small pieces until no longer pink.

Add onion, garlic, tomato, salt, pepper and cilantro and stir 1 minute, add alcaparrado or olives and about 2 tbsp of the brine (the juice from the olives, this adds great flavor) cumin, and bay leaf. Add tomato sauce and 3 tablespoons of water and mix well. Cover and cook high pressure 15 minutes. Natural or quick release and enjoy!

Picadillo is on rotation once a month in my home because it's the most requested dish by my kids and it's so easy to make! We love it served over brown rice, cauliflower rice, tacos and more. Leftovers are great to pack for lunch or can be used to make stuffed peppers, tacos, quesadillas and more! This also freezes well for make ahead-meals.
