How To Make The BEST Puerto Rican Picadillo | For Empanadillas, Pastelón, Alcapurrias, Rellenos

Picadillo is a staple dish in Latin American cooking! While every Latin culture has its rendition of the recipe, essentially, picadillo is simply a stewed and ultra-flavorful ground meat dish that pairs well with a variety of dishes.
Use this recipe for Puerto Rican pastelón/piñón, piononos, empanadillas/pastelillos, alcapurrias, relleno de papas, canoas, etc. It’s also a great ground meat recipe for tacos, lasagna, etc!
Enjoy!

Thank you Mari for this delicious 😋 recipe! I can’t wait for the ones coming in the summer… ❤ I’m like you, I just got a gas stove and I haven’t cooked on a gas stove in years and I burned my chuletas today… 😂 I’m also sad because I didn’t get my notifications that you had a new video up 😢 I look forward to more delicious PR recipes!!!

New sub here. I don’t know why it took me so long to find you lol. I’m Mexican and Puerto Rican and I’ve been lately wanting to learn to cook more Puerto Rican food. My mom was Mexican so that’s mainly what we ate growing up. She did make some Puerto Rican dishes but not many. So I’m happy to find your channel 😊

Are you sure you don't need to say half a tablespoon? That looks like a lot more than a teaspoon to be honest with you

[@mariscookingpr]

Probably! 🤷🏻‍♀️😂
