How To Make empanadas

Step 1

Use a large skillet type pan. Take the chorizo links and ground them in a food processor. Add chop meat, ground chorizo, chopped onions, garlic, cilantro and brown.

Step 2

Add spices, olives (chopped up) to browned meat. Cook over medium heat combined for 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes so shells don't fall apart.
Step 3

Spoon a couple of tablespoons of filling down the middle of the empanada shells. If you choose to, add cheese. Close shells with a fork.
Step 4

Fry in hot oil carefully - takes about 2 minutes each. Turn to brown both sides.
