How to Make Beef And Potato Empanadas With Salsa Picante

  1. In a large skillet, brown 1/2 lb of ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 1 medium diced onion and 2 cloves of minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 2 medium diced potatoes, 1/2 cup of chopped green bell pepper, and 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of cumin.
  4. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare your empanada dough (store-bought or homemade).
  6. Divide the dough into 8-12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 6-inch circle.
  7. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the beef and potato mixture into the center of each circle.
  8. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite salsa picante. Enjoy the burst of flavors with every bite!
