  • Picadillo

    • whole peeled tomatoes
      400 g1 14 oz can
    • garlic
      , minced
      2 cloves
    • white onions
      , diced
      1/4
    • smoked paprika
      a sprinkle
    • ancho chili powder
      a sprinkle
    • ground cinnamon
      a sprinkle
    • cooked beef

In the same pan, you used to brown the beef (there should be enough fat, but add a drizzle of oil if necessary) add the onion and garlic mixture and let those for a minute or two until fragrant.

Add the paprika, chili powder, and cinnamon.

Next, add in the whole peeled tomatoes and mash them with a potato masher to create a sauce-like consistency. Once the sauce has formed, add the browned beef back in, and use the potato masher to turn it into small, pebbly bits.
