Ingredients

4 servings
Onion1 medium
Garlic3 cloves
Capers2 tbsp
Cumin1 tsp
Oregano1/2 tsp
Olive oil2 tbsp
Cilantro1/4 cup

Method

1

Dice the onion, mince the garlic, pit and halve the green olives, and slice the bell pepper.

2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.

3

Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add the ground meat, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook for 5–7 minutes until browned.

4

Stir in tomato paste, cumin, and oregano. Cook for 1 minute, then add olives, capers, and red wine vinegar. Simmer for 3–4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5

In a separate skillet over medium heat, sauté the sliced bell pepper until tender-crisp, about 4–5 minutes.

6

Warm the flour tortillas over a gas flame or in a dry skillet for 20 seconds per side, or wrap in foil and warm in a 325°F oven for 5 minutes.

7

Lay each warm tortilla flat and fill with picadillo, sautéed bell pepper, and fresh cilantro. Roll tightly.

8

Serve wraps warm with lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
