MEAT EMPANADA FILLING
These little Spanish snacks (tapas) probably originated in the Middle East and were carried by the Moors into Spain. Travelers and traders could carry these snacks easily, and versions can be seen throughout the Latin world under various names. These delicious little minced meat pies are popular in Mexico and northern New Mexico at Christmas time. (See my recipe for Empanada Dough.)
