Ingredients:

Dough: 

• 4&1/2 cups all purpose flour

• 1&1/2 teaspoons salt

• 1/2 cup shortening

• 1&1/4 cups water or as much is needed

Filling:

• 3 tablespoons  Patagonia Mix by Nativo Spices

• 2-2&1/2 lbs. Hamburger( this recipe can make approximately 15-20 empanadas. Recipe can be reduced to make a smaller amount.)

• 2 tablespoons white vinegar

• 1 small onion diced 

• 1 red pepper diced.

• 3 large hard boiled eggs, cooled and peeled 

• Oil for deep frying

Directions:

1. Mix flour and salt, add shortening. And then, mix with a pastry blender. 

2. Add water in increments. 

3. Once the mass takes consistency, knead on a lightly  floured surface and wrap in cling wrap and chill for an hour.

4. Brown hamburger with onion & red pepper.  Drain grease and add Patagonia Mix. Chill mixture for 45 minutes- 1 hour.

5. Pour oil into a deep fryer or Dutch oven. Take your dough out. Measure out 2 inch balls of dough and roll out into discs with a rolling pin.

6. Fill each with 2-3 teaspoons of meat mixture, then fold the disc over and either pinch dough together or crimp with a fork. 

7. Place into oil and fry until golden brown. Finally, place on a cooling rack which has a cookie sheet lined with paper towels underneath to cool slightly. 

8. Extra tip: If you want, raisins can also be added to the filling.

9. We hope you enjoyed this tasty recipe with Diana and Patagonia Mix. Now it's up to you to recreate this culinary magic in your own kitchen.
