This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add my own personal touches. I usually add some diced bell peppers and corn.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my picadillo turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the beef with tofu. It turned out great!

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and it turned out much better.

This recipe was a little too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably cut back on the chili powder next time.
