Empanadas

- 1 lb ground beef, browned & seasoned to your preferences
- 1 package of orange empanada discs
- 1 cup shredded chihuahua cheese
- 1 can re-fried beans
- Flour

1.  Brown & season ground beef.  Heat beans.  Shred cheese.

2.  Taking each disc on its own spread flour on each side and roll out with roller.

3.  On one side of disc, put 1-2 tsp of beans, 2-3 tbs of beef, cheese.  Close by folding over.  Press fork on the edge all around to "close" the shell

4.  Fry in hot oil until shells look crispy.

Garnish with hot sauce, sour cream and/or rice.

This usually makes around 10 empanadas.  It can be time consuming actually preparing them but they store well to freeze for later use, or are good for a bigger group.
