For an extra layer of flavor, add a splash of sherry vinegar or a tablespoon of capers towards the end of the cooking time.
Feel free to adjust the amount of raisins and olives to your preference.
Picadillo is even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to develop. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeño to the pot along with the bell peppers.
