This was in my top 3 recipes of the issue. I have a serious weakness for green olives, and I love lettuce wraps. It was perfectly seasoned and very flavorful. It also allowed me to do my super easy egg dicing trick. I take my fine mesh metal cooling rack and press and egg through it. Somehow it creates a perfect small dice. (I might have read this in an older FC, I can't remember the source now.) These are a keeper!

JuliRoberts writes: I'm glad you guys like this recipe. It is very close to the recipe we have used in my family. Picadillo is also great mixed with rice (it's how we Cubans eat it) and you can also make empanadas with it.
It was that one dish my mom would make and keep in the fridge to help in a pinch. We would also add it to tomato sauce for what my mom would call Spaghetti Criollo (cRee-oyo)
It holds really well and the flavors intensify after a few days as well.
