Two Empanadas Recipe

Empanada Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Filling

   In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté until soft. Add ground beef, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2. 2

   Assemble the Empanadas

   Take one dough disc and place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center. Fold the disc in half to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a better seal. Repeat with the second disc.

3. 3

   Cook the Empanadas

   Heat a deep pan with oil for frying. Once hot, carefully place the empanadas in the oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   Serve

   Serve the empanadas with a side of rice and beans. Top with shredded lettuce and salsa before serving.
