This recipe is my quick version of Cuban Picadillo to make when I don’t have much time but don’t want to compromise flavor. The key is that most of my ingredients are dried and in my pantry, also, there is almost nothing to chop. DON’T BE INTIMIDATED BY THE INGREDIENTS LIST, once you start reading it you will know that they are mostly dried spices.
 
Approx. Prep and Cooking Time: 35-40 minutes
Approx. Total Cost: $22.51 (or $3.75/serving)
                   (Picadillo: $16.06) (Avocado and Rice: $3.75) (Salsa: $2.70)
Servings: 6
