Ingredients

Make It

Step 1

Cook beef, carrot, onion, bell pepper and jalapeños in large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 6 minutes or until beef is no longer pink; drain. Stir in tomatoes and juice, bouillon, oregano and cumin; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 6 minutes. Serve hot with tostadas.

VARIATION:

For a Mexican Casserole, prepare Mexican Picadillo as above. Omit tostadas. Spoon picadillo into ungreased 2-quart casserole dish. Spread 3 cups prepared mashed potatoes over picadillo. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled cotija cheese. Bake in preheated 350° F oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until cheese browns slightly and picadillo is bubbly. Serve hot.
