I loved this recipe. I used ground chicken instead of beef, added a teaspoon more curry powder, and infused my butter with garlic instead of sazon. Yummy! I will keep this recipe in the go-to box for a quick snack.

the blend of spices is what makes this recipe amazing!! And to make it even better eat them with the Red Chile Fire and Ice Sauce it goes grrreeeat with them. I just noticed I forgot to add the corn and cheese :- I just did the meat, added some potatoes and all the spices and it was delicious. The curry and all spice really stood out. I didn't find empanada frozen maza for these so I just used uncooked flour tortillas and they came out really nice and crunchy. I also only used butter without the sazon and it tasted fabulous. I wouldn't fry them baking them is so much healthier. If you think it's too dry just add a tad more oil or some broth. The crazy person that gave this recipe a 1 star is LOCO!!! No sabe na'!

For those who live in the Los Angeles area and need to know where to purchase the empanada wrappers, they are available in the frozen section at the Vallarta supermarkets. They sell the Goya brand and I think they are called "discos" in Spanish.

I agree with those of you who do not want to use msg. You can make your own sazon seasoning by mixing equal parts salt, garlic powder, cumin, coriander and annatto. 1 1/4 teaspoon of this mixture is equal to one packet of store bought sazon. Mix up a small jar and keep it on hand!

I live in Stockton, Ca. I found the Empanada Shells at the El Dorado Market. They were about 2.00 for a pack of 10. Cool!

These empanadas had an absolutely phenomenal filling. I have used the filling to stuff squash and bell peppers as well. http://onecoupleskitchen.blogspot.com/2010/02/bay-ridge-empanadas.html

My entire family loves this recipe. I have made them 3 times recently. They are on the menu for tomorrow. Our only problem is we can eat 2 to 3 of them each and there are 5 in my family. I plan to make 20 tomorrow. You can also add some small cubed potatoes. I'm sure the family will be asking for these often. It is alot of ingredients, but if you just get out all the ingredients on your prep table, the rest is a breeze. Thank u so very much for this delicious recipe. I have made several of Sunny's recipes and have had good luck with all that I tried. Love u Sunny.
Mary and family

Finally found frozen empanada shells at a Latin American Market on Morena Blvd. thanks to a reviewer's search tip. We bought the big size (7inches so our first try was dry with too little filling. The meat tasted so good, tried again with Marcela's Drunken Salsa. What a hit! First we 4x'd the recipe and really packed in the filling. Used 2 tsp of all spices except S/P to taste to make it easy (Sunny used garlic powder not thyme, 1 can of drained white/yellow corn, 2 cups regular cheddar cheese, 1 whole onion, 2 lbs beef. Most important the lady at the store told us to use egg wash when baking these shells. (The first time we used nothing and the 2nd time egg wash - beautiful! Think you need either butter or egg to keep the filling from drying out. Served with Drunken Salsa, the flavors were out of this world good. Leftover meat tasty with scrambled eggs no kidding. Our version is Supersized not finger food so one is really filling.
