This is one of my Mexican Picadillo recipes. It is made with ground pork meat, spices and tender young zucchini. I happen to like the taste of the breakfast sausage Jimmy Dean or Tennessee Pride and use this sausage when making my pork Mexican Picadillo it is very flavorful and juicy. I serve it along side rice, pinto beans and of course tortillas. This is just one variation of Mexican Picadillo. I hope you like it. Enjoy
