Empanada Tacos -N- Wraps

Submitted by jrusk

"Empanadas are one of my favorite things to eat but I lack the patience. Every country has their own version and the ingredients differ. I love Colombian empanads/food since I've lived there but I rather go out and eat it! This website is the real deal http://nikas-culinaria.com/colombian-food/ and I'll try it one day but for now...This recipe is the "easy way" to make empanada filling and it has the ingredients we prefer. The man of the house must have tacos so I've started using this filling and it make us both happy. I wrap my taco in lettuce. The meat is very very addictive...once you start eating it you might just finish it with a spoon. I never have any leftovers no matter how much I make!!!! Try the pique sauce with it too!"
