As far as I know, the exact origins are debated, but picadillo is likely from the Caribbean or the Philippines, brought over by Spanish explorers

It's super popular in Latin American nowadays! What's your favorite way to make it? I love it with rice and beans!

I think picadillo originally comes from Spain! Though it's also popular in Latin American and Filipino cuisines.
