Directions
- This is basic preparation, adjust for desired results. Develop your own finished product.
- Cook meat in frying pan until browned. Add desired spices and ingredients. Simmer for about 60 to 90 minutes.
- Prepare pastry. Goya discos are really easy and simple. Spoon about 1 tbsp. meat mixture into middle, fold in half to form a half moon. Moisten edges with water and pinch to seal closed.
- Preheat oven to 350. Bake on parchment paper on cookie sheet about 25 minutes or until golden brown. You can brush each empanada with egg wash. Prick each empanada with a fork near the curl to allow steam to escape during cooking.
