Empanadas are here!



Empanadas are a latin food that I really love.  They're simple to make and the crispy fried dough is hard to beat.  Now, I'm sure that Latin moms make they're own discs, but I buy 10 of them at Walmart for $1.50, so you won't see me making my own anytime soon.  My friend, Netta, who is Puerto Rican, said she could kick my butt at making these (and I'm sure she's right), but wanted to see me do a video on them anyway.  I don't know what traditionally goes into them, but here's my take on them.  I just hope I've done a decent enough job on them to at least avoid ridicule from her… LOL, anyway I hope you give these a try.  :-)





1 package of 10 empanada discs
1 medium onion, diced
1 tomato, diced
2 jalapeno peppers, diced with ribs and seeds removed
2-3 cloves garlic
1 lb. ground beef
1 packet sazone
2 tsp. adobo
2 cups taco cheese, shredded
kosher and cracked black
