Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- For the picadillo: Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 7 minutes. Add the olives, carrots, onions, raisins and 1 teaspoon salt and mix well to combine. Add the crushed tomatoes, bring to a simmer and simmer until the flavors are incorporated, about 10 minutes. Adjust the seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat and set aside.
- For the bell peppers: In a small bowl, stir together the mozzarella, panko and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.
- Put the bell pepper halves cut-side up on a baking sheet and season each with a pinch of salt. Use a large spoon to divide the picadillo evenly among the peppers. Bake until the filling is hot in the center and the peppers are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Remove the peppers from the oven and turn the broiler to high. Sprinkle the peppers with the panko and cheese mixture and broil until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose the right bell peppers: Pick firm, evenly-shaped peppers with smooth skin and vibrant color. Avoid any with blemishes or bruises.
- Prep the peppers properly: Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. Blanch the pepper halves in boiling water for a few minutes or roast them in the oven until slightly tender, to make them more pliable and easier to stuff.
- Cook the picadillo filling thoroughly: Make sure the ground beef is fully cooked and the other ingredients are heated through. This is important to ensure food safety and prevent any potential illness.
- Season to taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings in the picadillo filling to your personal preference. Add more chili powder for a spicier kick, or more cumin for a deeper flavor.
- Pack the stuffing tightly: When stuffing the bell peppers, pack the picadillo mixture in tightly to prevent it from falling out during baking. This will also help the peppers hold their shape.
- Bake until tender: Bake the stuffed peppers in a preheated oven until the peppers are tender and the filling is bubbly and hot. The exact baking time may vary depending on the size and type of peppers you are using.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Once the stuffed peppers are cooked, serve them immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and cilantro.

Picadillo stuffed bell peppers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish.
