Carne Molida: Mexican Ground Beef
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 large potato about 1 cup potato, diced
1 onion about 1 cup onion, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper about 1 cup, diced
2 cloves garlic minced
2 teaspoon cumin
¼ cup cilantro chopped
2 tablespoons lime juice
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Add the ground beef to a large skillet and start it cooking over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks.
Add the diced potato and onion to the ground beef once the beef starts to turn brown. Cook the beef and potatoes together for about 5 minutes until the potatoes start to soften.
Spoon off any excess fat, leaving behind about 2 tablespoons of fat, then add the green bell pepper and garlic. Cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
Season the mixture with cumin, salt, and pepper and stir well.
Simmer the Carne Molida on low heat for 10 minutes allowing the flavors to combine.
Mix in the chopped cilantro and squeeze in the lime juice, then serve and enjoy!
