I made this tonight and it was ok, not great. the cuman was too overpowering. I eat this 3-4 times a month in sophie's cuban in NYC so i may be a bit bias as to what i think it should taste like. I may try it again but ill cut the cuman in half and use beef stock instead of water. Also the cinnamon add's an interesting flavor. It's not usually served with the eggs but i did it and it was a very nice addition.

This was really good, and simple. I used the lean ground beef and cooked the chopped onion with the beef.
I've never had it in a tortilla, but my family enjoys it with instant brown.

I don't eat much beef, but I bought some ground meet that I wanted to find an interesting recipe for. This recipe was quick and delicious. I served the picadillo in tortillas with the sliced hardboiled eggs on top, and a dollop of fat free sour cream. I didn't have golden raisins, so I used regular raisins. I also substituted an 8oz can of tomato sauce for the paste and water.
