Sorry, but I'm doing something I hate- reviewing without making the dish. However, there's a reason- after seeing all the "too salty" reviews, I went Chef Maldonado's website to look at the beef empanadas recipe. I believe that what the other reviewers suspected is correct. For items such as the olive oil or culantro -yes, he uses culantro, not cilantro- he calls for 2Tbs with an uppercase "T", and for the adobo, the sugar and the salt, he calls for 2tbs, all lower case. I'll bet you that should be tsp, not tbs. It's my impression that there'd be a lot more positive rating on this recipe if that correction was made.

Ugh, the recipe has got to be wrong! 2 tablespoons of salt in the dough was way too much. I was going to cut it back to 2 teaspoons, because that just seemed like a lot. Wish I had, because these empanadas were inedible. I bet it's a good recipe with the correct amount of salt.

I love the recipe. I'm reading the rest of the reviews. I just want to say to everyone, every time I try a recipe I season the meat(whatever to my own taste. I start out having all the right amounts but i put in as lil at a time and then I taste it. Then if I have to add more I can. So that just some food for thought.

The recipe did come out very salty. We made a small test batch first because we saw that 2 tablespoons of Adobo looked like too much seasoning. Once we made some adjustments the filling was very tasty. I liked the ingredients so I just suggest that you season with the Adobo to taste and ignore the measurments.

As the other user mentioned, in Puerto Rico, we call this empanadillas. This recipe can't be right, I followed the recipe exactly as it was and they came out way toooo salty. My only guess is that they meant tsp and NOT tablespoon.

Made this recipe exactly and it was like eating a SALT *****! This can not be the correct proportion of salt. Do not make unless this recipe is corrected or you use much less salt than called for

These are actually called in Puerto Rico EMPANADILLAS... We call empanadas breaded steak or breaded chicken cutlets. If you order an empanada in San Juan, where this chef is supposedly from, you'll get the latter, not the turnover you are showing here.
