How to make GROUND BEEF EMPANADAS Mexican-style | Easy ground beef recipes | Villa Cocina

#food #mexicanfood #delicious
There are many variations across latin America when it comes to empanadas. Todays empanadas have way less prep because we are using the all mighty corn masa harina. They are filled with flavorful ground beef, which is paired with potatoes. Its a meal to remember and one you will want to make on repeat.

I’m from California and I grew up with many Latinos. I love Mexican food so I’m happy I found your KZbin channel. You are a good example of why one of the first sentence I learned in Spanish is “las latinas, son las mujeres más bellas del mundo.”

[@susanuribe1001]

You smooth talker 😊

[@russellh1964]

@@susanuribe1001 Estoy siendo honesto. 😊

[@jdos5643]

I love Mexican food. I always say they eat so good!

[@BigboiiTone]

Your technique for searing the hamburger is pure brilliance. I cant believe I never thought of that or saw anyone else do that. You make it thin, reducing the cooking time. And you create more surface area for letting it brown up. I'm trying this next time I use GB. Thanks!

[@VillaCocina]

Glad you found the video helpful 😊

[@haltonsworld]

What a great couple! Oh, and what a great meal!

[@tomlewis632]

I am retired and moved from Florida. I miss all my Hispanic coworkers. They always had the most delicious foods for lunch. Your recipe is very different from the Puerto Ricans Empanada. They used what they had on hand. Your version has a lot of extra things in it, very interesting. I must try this. Thank you for sharing this with us..... gracias bella dama.

[@LessThanHandy]

The interaction between you as a couple cracks me up - you're awesome. I will definitely try this dish..👍

[@VillaCocina]

😅 Nelson wouldn’t miss out on the taste test

[@georgi76szabo61]

Hi Rosanna! I just found Your channel, after Your first video, I already subscribed, lol You are beautiful, and explaining very clear the steps, Im Hungarian, Living in the USA, but I have strong connection to Mexico, as I used to live There, and yes I Speak Spanish, so the culture is super close to Me :) Thank You for showing the authentic flavors, keep up the great job. xxx

[@a.maximillianjean-pierre5838]

Wow. I never thought of using broth instead of water with the masa. Excellent

Amazing this is how my wife used to cook.

[@sarahwieland3243]

I love ur passion for not only cooking, but the food itself. Can’t wait to make these ❤

[@SakuraWulf]

This is the one. I just watched 4-5 of the videos above this and they just don't do the steps right. None of them seasoned or browned the potatoes... just boiled. You added fresh garlic towards the end of the cooking, unlike others that add it at the beginning with the onion and use paste. Also, the simple salsa and plating with cabbage, cheese, and avocado was a win. I'm making this tomorrow.

[@lefthandedfork3337]

Just discovered your channel love it! I’m binge watching haha Godbless ❤️🙏

[@charlesstrong3866]

Awe man, I was born in Panama when my dad was stationed there and my mom and abuelita used to make empanadas when we were kids. This brought back so many memories and it looks so good....I love how in the hispanic community there can be variations of the same dish depending on where you're from.

[@VillaCocina]

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback!

[@Itsant33]

I'll still make make these but my fave is my Chilean grandma's recipe. She browns onions, adds raisins and olives, hard boiled eggs, garlic, and ground beef. And I'd season the beef before searing it. Love the spices she uses tho. I don't normally season like that since I'm a coconut 🥥 lol. But I am a line cook. also I bake them. So it has that egg wash

[@VillaCocina]

Empanadas are soooo diverse in the way they are made depending on the country! The recipe you describe sound delicious!

I love your channel, the food looks amazing! We unfortunately don't have half of the ingredients here in Sweden but I can tell you, if I ever come to Mexico I would devour the entire country

[@VillaCocina]

I’m sorry to hear that! Not even online for the spices?

[@cessbuller7027]

Order online it’s very easy

[@hrydgard]

That's not accurate, you can find nearly everything listed here easily in Sweden, and the few things that you can't (oaxaca cheese, the specific chili powder) you can easily just substitue with similar ingredients.
