I could not find the Goya Empanada Disc to put into the ingredient category but it is 170 calories per disc. So please add this to the total calorie intake for each empanada. Enjoy and take away or add ingredients because I add to taste except the cheese.

I loved the recipe, but needed it to fit my special dietary needs.

This is a wonderful recipe that can be used as empanada filling or for soft tacos.

I've borrowed from 2 different recipes on two different websites:
http://cookbad.blogspot.com/2

ting.html - has what appears to be a wonderfully authentic Spanish empanada
While the pastry was insprired by hidy_lady at: http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/290/buttern
ut-squash-pastry-for-pies.aspx
Instead of doing one family sized empanda like the spanish would, I've made 12 individual portions South American style to help me with portion control.
These will take some time so make them on the weekend for weekday lunches.
You can make both the pastry and filling a day ahead.
