    Spicy-Sweet Beef Empanadas (Mexico), Who doesn’t love a warm empanada?!?! These savory turnovers make great appetizers because you can prep them ahead of time and freeze for up to a month and they still taste fantastic!, I made these for my husband and he said they were pretty good I left out the cilantro and the almonds because I did not have them on hand I also made my own puff pastry My hubby said they needed some kind of sauce or cheese, so I’ll try that next time
