Green Chile Picadillo Beef

Print Recipe

Hearty blend of ground beef, green chiles, potato, and spices simmered to savory perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 450 g ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
  • 3 medium green chiles, roasted, peeled, and chopped or 113 g canned diced green chiles
  • 1 medium potato, diced
  • 5 g ground cumin
  • 5 g dried oregano
  • 2 g paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 240 ml beef broth or water
  • 30 ml vegetable oil
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  2. Incorporate minced garlic and diced green bell pepper into the skillet and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
  3. Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until beef is browned and no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  4. Fold in diced potato, green chiles, ground cumin, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly to combine.
  5. Pour in beef broth or water. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover the skillet, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add a small amount of additional broth or water if the mixture appears too dry. Remove from heat and allow to rest for several minutes.
  7. Top with freshly chopped cilantro before serving. Serve warm alongside rice, tortillas, or chosen accompaniments.

Notes

For enhanced flavor, roast fresh green chiles before chopping. Adjust the level of heat by selecting milder or hotter green chiles according to preference.
