This traditional Latin American and Filipino dish is a classic in comfort food!

Add in some hearty, crispy potatoes, sweet raisins, and aromatic olives, and Picadillo becomes a complex and yet nurturing dish. It only takes 45 minutes to make this, so you can have it any day of the week with no stress.
