These beef empanadas are a game-changer, folks They’re the perfect combination of flaky pastry, juicy beef, and a hint of spice that will leave you wanting more.

Imagine a delicious beef filling, made with ground beef, onions, garlic, and a hint of tomato sauce, all wrapped up in a crispy pastry pocket.

First, heat up some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the ground beef and cook until it’s browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes.

Next, add in the chopped onions and cook until they’re soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Now it’s time to add in the tomato sauce, olives, sofrito, sazón, garlic, oregano, and pepper. Stir everything together and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened.

While the filling is cooking, roll out the empanada discs on a lightly floured surface until they’re about 1/2 inch larger in diameter.

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the meat mixture into the middle of each disk, then moisten the edges with water and fold the pastry in half over the filling to form a half-moon shape.

Pinch the edges together to seal the empanada, or use a fork to crimp them shut.

Heat up some corn oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F. Working in batches, fry the empanadas until they’re crispy and golden brown, flipping them once, about 4-6 minutes.

Transfer the empanadas to paper towels to drain any excess oil, then serve them hot and enjoy!

These empanadas are perfect for snacking, or as a main dish. They’re also great for serving at parties or gatherings.

So go ahead, give these empanadas a try and taste the magic for yourself!
