Cuisine: American

Cooking time: 30 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 medium ripe plantains
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
  2. 2. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  3. 3. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. 4. Stir in the diced tomatoes, cumin, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  5. 5. While the picadillo simmers, peel and slice the plantains into thick rounds. In a separate skillet, fry the plantain slices in olive oil over medium heat until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
