In the land of the pampas and gauchos, beef is king. And beef is a traditional filling for empanadas that are a very popular appetizer, snack and/or picnic fare in Argentina. This recipe is rather similar to a Puerto Rican picadillo, so substitute pork if you wish.

I have all the ingrediants in my kitchen and I am a little bored. I think I'll just go ahead and make this now and serve it tomorrow night. This sounds real good.

I served this last night with a salad and we thought it was a very nice blend of flavors and it smelled real good to. I used a tart pastry from one of my French cook books to line and cover a 9" pie pan. Is that how they did it in Cancun?
