Instructions
- 1Season meat with Adobo. In skillet, heat oil on medium high. Cook meat until pink is gone. Stir in onion, pepper, garlic, alcaparras, tomato sauce and Sazón. Cook, stirring often until most of the liquid has evaporated (about 20 minutes). Cool.
- 2Prepared dough should be moist and should hold together, but it should not stick to your fingers. Start with about ½ cup of dough and roll into a ball between palms of your hands. Working on a sheet of non-stick parchment paper, form the ball into a 5-inch circle about ⅛ inch thick. Place a generous tbsp. of filling on one half of circle and using parchment paper close dough over to form a semi-circle. To seal and trim edges of the empanada, press lip of inverted bowl over semi-circle shaped patty. Repeat for all the Empanadas.

Chef tips
To keep the corn dough from drying out and cracking, cover it with a damp towel while working. Use plastic wrap to fold the empanadas easily and achieve a uniform shape. Serve these with a refreshing avocado and cilantro guasacaca sauce. For a lighter version, brush with oil and bake in a hot oven until golden instead of deep frying.
