How to Make Beef And Potato Empanadas With Salsa Picante
- In a large skillet, brown 1/2 lb of ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 1 medium diced onion and 2 cloves of minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- 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.
- Cook until potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, prepare your empanada dough (store-bought or homemade).
- Divide the dough into 8-12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 6-inch circle.
- Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the beef and potato mixture into the center of each circle.
- Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve immediately with your favorite salsa picante. Enjoy the burst of flavors with every bite!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
