  • 1 tomato cut into cubes
  • ½ green onion or 1 chopped garlic
  • 1 pinch cumin
  • 1 cup corn flour
  • 1 cup water
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil for frying
Instructions
  1. Create a puree with the potatoes: peel, cut into cubes, cook in enough water and salt.
  2. Cook the meat with your choice of seasoning.
  3. Once ready, pull apart with the help of two forks.
  4. Prepare a guiso with the tomato, garlic or onion, a bit of salt and cumin.
  5. Add the pulled meat and the potato puree to the guiso.
  6. Combine the corn flour, water, salt if desired, a little bit of color or achiote.
  7. Knead until it becomes a dough.
  8. Place a sheet of greased saran wrap.
  9. Create a ball, cover in plastic and then flatten using a roller.
  10. Add a portion of the potato and meat onto the dough.
  11. Fold the plastic so it completely covers the filling.
  12. Cut the dough with a cup or a mold for empanadas, making sure the edges are sealed so the filling won’t slip out.
  13. Fry the empanadas in hot oil until they look golden and crispy.
  14. Let them rest over absorbent paper and serve hot with ají or lemon slices.
