Ingredients
Instructions
Heat the oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
Stir in the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
Mix in the sofrito (or sweet pepper and cilantro mix), tomato paste, sazon, bay leaf, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Add the diced potato, olives, and capers, then pour in a splash of water if needed to loosen the mixture.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the sauce thickens.
Remove the bay leaf, adjust seasoning to taste, and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with white rice, tortillas, or fried plantains.
