Fried Beef Empanadas

Friday, May 4, 2012
One of our favorite Mexican-style fried foods is empanadas.

Stuffed fried dough pockets with beef, onion, and garlic are a tasty pillowy treat wrapped in a delicious homemade masa dough.

You may buy the wrappers premade in the supermarket or make our homemade recipe.

I have made these by hand using a round large cutter and fork and not invested in an empanada plastic maker to make them even easier you can see in the first photo.

Our super easy-to-make casserole will be a big hit with kids who love these flavors plus this is a great potluck and Cinco De Mayo meal on May 5th.

Setting up a garnish bar is fun plus you can add all your family and friends' favorite toppings with a little of all our suggestions below to build their own meal and also just perfect when hosting a party.

The recipe and ingredients are all in a printable recipe card at the end of this post.
