Empanada de Carne offers a savory and satisfying combination of flavors. Ground or shredded meat, typically beef, is seasoned with a blend of spices, creating a rich and aromatic filling. The pastry shell provides a contrasting texture and flavor, often buttery and flaky.
The filling commonly includes beef, onions, garlic, bell peppers, and spices such as cumin, paprika, oregano, and chili powder (or aji, depending on the region). Some variations include olives, hard-boiled eggs, raisins, or potatoes. The pastry shell, or 'masa', can be made from wheat flour, corn flour, or a combination of both. Lard or butter are often incorporated for richness and flakiness. The empanadas are then baked or fried, resulting in a golden-brown crust.

Dough Consistency
The dough should be pliable but not sticky. If using wheat flour, chilling the dough before rolling it out will help prevent it from becoming tough. For corn masa, use warm water to create a smooth and manageable dough.
Filling Seasoning
Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and seasonings to create a filling that suits your taste. Taste and adjust the seasoning as you cook the filling to ensure it's flavorful.
Sealing the Empanadas
To prevent the filling from leaking out during baking or frying, ensure the edges of the empanadas are properly sealed. You can use a fork to crimp the edges or brush them with egg wash to help them stick together.
Baking vs. Frying
Baking empanadas results in a slightly healthier option with a less greasy crust. Frying creates a crispier and more flavorful crust. Choose the method that best suits your preference.
