Ingredients for Picadillo Burrito

Preparation

Directions to Prepare Picadillo Burrito

1. Cook the Picadillo

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.

2. Add Vegetables

Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

3. Mix in Sauce and Seasonings

Stir in the tomato sauce, green olives, raisins, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Assemble the Burritos

Warm the flour tortillas in a pan or microwave. Spoon the picadillo mixture onto the center of each tortilla, sprinkle with shredded cheese, and add sour cream and chopped cilantro to taste.

5. Roll the Burritos

Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom, enclosing the filling completely.

6. Serve

Serve the burritos warm with additional sour cream and cilantro on the side.
