3Add grounds, onion, carrot, and celery. Cook until grounds are browned. Add potatoes.

4Add garlic, chili powder and cumin and cook for about 1 minute, until spices are fragrant.

5Add broth and cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Set mixture aside to cool.

Tips:
It’s important not to over-fill the empanada. When sealing the edges, an easy way to make sure the edge seals well is to use the prongs on a fork and gently press down just to seal the doughs together.
