You mention using Chili Powder in your instructions but it’s not included in your INGREDIENT LIST. So, how much chili powder do I need to make this recipe>

Just curious, are you using actual banana peppers or a different kind that are just banana shaped, such as Poblano or something similar?

I like green olives and raisins in my picadillo. Do you think they could be added about 1 hr before serving?
