Although you can use this spiced, ground beef mixture for any number of dishes—burritos, tacos, stuffed potatoes—it's also great on its own. Though you add the ingredients in different stages, the picadillo comes together in just one skillet. First, you soften the onion and garlic, then cook the lean ground beef. Add the white wine vinegar, cooking and stirring to be sure you scrape up those delicious browned bits on the bottom of the skillet. All that's left to do is stir in the remaining ingredients, which include a colorful symphony of green olives, golden raisins, fresh parsley, tomato paste, ground cumin, and a touch of hot sauce.
