Ingredients:
* 1 1/2 pounds of Ground Turkey or Ground Beef
* 6 T. Taco Seasoning
* 8 oz. Tomato Sauce
* 3/4 c. Shredded Taco Blend Cheese or Cheddar
* 10 Empanada Discs, defrosted (usually found in the frozen section)
* Vegetable Oil, for frying OR Cooking Spray if you’re using an Air Fryer
Toppings:
* Salsa
* Pico de Gallo
* Guacamole
* Sour Cream
* Hot Sauce
Directions:
1. Place a medium sized pan over medium heat.
2. Add in the meat and break it up so it can cook evenly.
3. After the meat is evenly distributed, add in the taco seasoning, mix all together, and cover the pan.
4. Once the meat is almost completely browned, about 10-12 minutes, add in the tomato sauce, stir, and cover for 4 minutes.
5. Once the meat is completely cooked, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cheese and place the filling mixture in a bowl.
6. Create a workspace to fill the empanadas; you’ll need a large cutting board, a fork, a large tablespoon, and a large dish to place the completed empanadas on.
