Once the meat is broken down, add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper; mix in.

Continue cooking until all the meat has browned.

Add the fresh corn and cook for about 2 minutes.

Add 2 diced potatoes and fry for about 2 minutes.

Add half of a small white onion and 1 Roma tomato; cook until the tomato has released all its juice, about 1 minute.

Add the blended salsa mix; check for salt or beef bouillon and adjust if necessary.

Add a small bunch of cilantro, reduce heat to the lowest setting, cover, and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes.

After 8 minutes, the picadillo is ready.
