TO MAKE CONFIDENTIAL SAUCE:

powder and onion powder. Mix well until all ingredients are completely mixed.

burger is to start with a loose ball to ensure a tender texture.

3. PREPARE THE EMPANADAS:

• Preheat a cast iron skillet or griddle over high heat. For perfect browning, the surface should be very

hot.• Place a ball of minced meat in the pan, then flatten it into a thin patty using a sturdy spatula

(and a second spatula or strong press for leverage if necessary). Season with salt and pepper.

• Cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes until the edges are golden brown and crispy. Flip the

burger, season again and cook for another minute. Repeat with the remaining meat portions.4.

ASSEMBLING THE BURGERS:

The addition of a pinch of hot sauce gives the dish a spicy touch, while a little smoked paprika adds a
