Get ready to sink your teeth into the most mouthwatering, flaky, and crispy beef empanadas of your life!

Today, we’re diving into the world of Latin-inspired treats, and trust me, you won’t want to miss this delicious adventure!

Imagine a tender, seasoned ground beef filling, perfectly balanced with juicy tomatoes, onions, and garlic, all wrapped up in a golden-brown, crispy pastry package.

It’s the perfect snack to munch on while watching your favorite game, a satisfying side dish to accompany your favorite meal, or a delightful dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth.

So, let’s get cooking! 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, stirring occasionally. This should take about 10 minutes.

Next, add in the chopped onions and cook until they’re soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Then, stir in the tomato sauce, olives, sofrito, sazón, garlic, oregano, and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer until it thickens, about 15 minutes.

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. Moisten the edges with water, fold the disk in half over the filling to form a half-moon shape, and pinch to seal.

Heat up some corn oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350°F. Fry the empanadas in batches until they’re crispy and golden brown, flipping once, about 4-6 minutes. Drain the empanadas on paper towels and serve hot.

And that’s it! Crispy, delicious, and utterly irresistible beef empanadas, straight from your own kitchen. So, go ahead, indulge in this Latin-inspired treat and savor every bite!
