Picadillo

A little known Mexican dish that is oh so yummy. This is the recipe my paternal grandma taught me. I've found other versions in cookbooks but they have way more ingredients that don't make sense to me (Cooking sherry? Really?). But this is so simple and delicious you don't need any of that mumbo jumbo.

My "Mexican Salad"

Typically I avoid anything that involves Mexican food staples tossed in a heap or layered and then "Mexican" added to the beginning of the name.  Things like "mexican salad" or "mexican pizza." But I was pretty impressed with myself with this one.
