Season the mixture with 1 tablespoon of tomato flavored chicken bouillon powder, about 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, and 1 teaspoon of granulated onion powder.

Add chunks of sliced garlic and season with salt to taste.

Break apart the ground beef and sauté everything well on the griddle.

Open the V8 juice and combine it with the browned mixture in the pan.

Bring the mixture to a simmer and cover with a lid, cooking for about 20 minutes.

Check that the potatoes are cooked through and soft, then serve the picadillo.
