This easy recipe cooks in about 30 minutes and only requires minor substitutions to be macro friendly without sacrificing any flavor! You can enjoy with frijoles de la olla like me or with some low calorie tortillas.
1. Peel and chop vegetables into small pieces and mince the garlic.
2. Grease a pan and add in ground beef and cook for 5 minutes.
3. Add in the chopped onions, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
4. Once onions are translucent (~3-4 mins) add in potatoes and carrots. Combine well.
5. Add 1 can of el pato sauce and 1/2 cup of beef broth. Mix well.
6. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes and carrots are fork tender.
7. If needed, add seasonings to taste.
8. Serve with a side of beans. Each bowl will get 1.25 cup picadillo mixture & 3/4 c beans.
