Ok so this week is all about new adventures, and the #SundaySupper team is committed to this task, many of my friends made amazing recipes this week, some of those I never try before, me a went all the way home with this recipe.
Empanadas Arregladas, that’s how we call them in Costa Rica and for many years I’ve been trying to replicate the same exact recipe with no success.
But now I have to say the am so proud because this is it, I pull it off, I did it, I manage to make and produce the same exact recipe, and you can’t image how happy I’m.
So if you feel blue make some empanadas, you are going to smile the rest of the week.
Hope you enjoy.

- Heat the oil to medium low.
- Add the teaspoon of achiote powder to 1 cup of hot water.
- Prepare the masa, make a hole in the center of the masa harina, add salt and pepper and the water with the achiote, a little at the time.
