Funny story to this one. My wife’s grandmother asked me if I wanted an empanada one time, so me thinking it was going to be a nice hot apple empanada like she always makes said yes. I took a big bite out of it & finally realized it was a meat empanada. I could not believe she had made meat empanadas, I had never had one. It was great! I’m going to surprise her by making some of yours. Thanks for the recipe.
