2.Cut the beef into small cubes and marinate them with lemon juice, lime juice, oregano, and chili powder.
3.In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, egg, egg yolk and milk to form a dough.

5.Cut the rolled-out dough into rounds.

They are relatively easy to prepare and you can add or subtract spices to suit your tastes.

CONS

Although Empanadas are meant to be a relatively healthy option over fried food, they do contain quite a bit of shortening which is high in fat content.

It’s important to consume them in moderation and as part of a balanced diet.
