Raven Santana's Empanadas

Ingredients:

• 1 lb browned ground beef
• Olive oil
• Garlic
• Salt & pepper
• Goya Sazon
• Vegetable oil

Directions:

1. Cook and season meat. I put a little bit of adobo and sazon. Season to taste and drain excess oil.  Set aside.
2. Make sure that the discos are defrosted. put a spoonful of meat into the disco and fold over.  It will look like a half circle. Use the fork to pinch the edges of the disco together, so meat doesn't come out. Turn disco over and pinch the edges on that side.
3. Heat oil. When oil is hot, put in the discos. Fry until golden brown.  Set onto a plate with paper towel on it to absorb the oil.
