Chef tips
To ensure the dough stays crispy and doesn't get soggy, make sure to cool the meat filling completely before stuffing. Seal the edges tightly with a fork for a pretty pattern that prevents leaks during baking. Serve these empanadas with fresh chimichurri sauce on the side to boost the flavor. Kids will love helping seal the dough! You can also swap the beef for chopped chicken thighs or lentils for a hearty vegetarian option.
