Picadillo is a traditional dish in Spain, in many Latin American countries and in the Philippines that is similar to hash. Its name originates from the Spanish word "picar" which means "to mince" which explains the presence of ground beef. Saute garlic, onion and green pepper until onions are transparent. Transfer onion mixture to a bowl and set aside. In a large, deep skillet, heat the olive oil until shimmering.
