Directions

1Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
2Add the diced onion and bell peppers to the pan and sauté until softened.
3Incorporate fresh garlic, seasonings (cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper), and tomato paste.
4Cook the mixture down for a few minutes to remove any acid or bitter taste from the tomato paste.
5Add a few bay leaves to the mixture.
6Use dry cooking wine to deglaze any bits from the bottom of the pan.
7Once most of the wine has evaporated, add the ground beef to the pan.
8Break up the ground beef with a wooden spoon and cook until browned.
9Pour in the tomato sauce, green pitted olives (along with their brine), and raisins.
10Add the diced potatoes to the mixture.
11Mix until all ingredients are combined.
12Simmer the picadillo covered for 10-12 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
13Peel and slice green plantains into 2-inch chunks.
14Thoroughly spray the plantain chunks with avocado oil.
15Air fry the plantains at 390°F (199°C) for 10 minutes.
16Flatten each piece of plantain using a tostones press.
17Spray the flattened plantains with oil again and air fry for another 10 minutes at 390°F (199°C).
18Serve the picadillo with white rice, black beans, and tostones.
