Puerto Rican Picadillo Empanadas
Picadillo is seasoned ground beef cooked with sofrito, onions, peppers, olives and potatoes. It's flavorful and makes the perfect stuffing for empanadas, alcapurrias, piononos and papa rellena.
For this recipe, I cooked the picadillo and used store bought empanada discs!
