Meat Empanada Filling image

These little Spanish snacks (tapas) probably originated in the Middle East and were carried by the Moors into Spain. Travelers and traders could carry these snacks easily, and versions can be seen throughout the Latin world under various names. These delicious little minced meat pies are popular in Mexico and northern New Mexico at Christmas time. (See my recipe for Empanada Dough.)

These empanadas were a bit too greasy for my taste, but the filling was delicious. I think I will try baking them next time instead of frying them.

These empanadas were a bit too spicy for my taste, but they were still delicious. I would definitely make these again, but I would use less chili powder next time.

These empanadas were really good! I used a store-bought dough, but I think next time I will try making my own dough.

These empanadas were so easy to make and they turned out so delicious! I used ground beef, but I think next time I will try using ground chicken or turkey.
