Steps:
- Prepare the dough in a bowl, mixing the masa harina, salt, and warm water to form a ball, knead dough until smooth. Divide the dough into 12 balls, and flatten and slightly cover with plastic wrap. Set aside.
- Place one ball of dough between two pieces of plastic and press using a tortilla press, a heavy skillet or a dish. I know, you have seen the tortilla press, but somehow I love to use my glass dishes for this step. So, do not be afraid, use whatever you have.
- Remove the top piece of plastic and spoon some of the stuffing onto the tortilla. Leaving enough room to seal the edges.
- Using the piece of plastic fold the dough over to make a half moon shape turn over. Pinch the edges, making sure they seal to avoid any leaking of the mixture while frying. Remove the empanada from the plastic set aside on a large plate or tray and cover with a plastic wrap. Keep working with the rest of the dough making the empanadas.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over high heat. It's frying time!
- Deep fry the empanadas one or two at a time until golden brown.
- About 2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot topped with lettuce and avocado. Eat them adding some salsa. After that, take a long walk.

SHRIMP AND CORN EMPANADAS
Steps:
- For the empanada dough: In a food processor, pulse flour, lard and salt until the mixture resembles sand. In a separate bowl, beat together egg, water and vinegar with a fork. Add to flour mixture, pulsing until just incorporated. Turn out onto plastic wrap and chill at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
- For the filling: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the corn on a baking sheet and roast in the oven about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove, cool and cut off the kernels with a knife.
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of the oil followed by the bell pepper, garlic and shallot. Cook, stirring frequently, about 3 to 4 minutes, then add 1/2 cup wine, tomato paste, salt and pepper. Bring back to a simmer and continue cooking until liquid has reduced by half. Place into a blender and puree. Set aside.
- In another medium skillet over medium-high heat, add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. When just smoking, 1 to 2 minutes, add shrimp. Season with salt and pepper. Add remaining 1/2 cup wine and bring to a simmer. Continue to cook until shrimp are opaque and liquid has reduced slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat, cool, and roughly chop the shrimp.
- In a bowl, mix together the pureed bell pepper mixture, the corn and shrimp. Chill about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- To assemble: In a small bowl, beat egg with 1 tablespoon water and a pinch of salt. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/16-inch thick. Using a 4-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 8 rounds of dough. Brush edges with egg wash. Place 1 heaping tablespoon of filling in middle of each round, and fold the dough over to enclose the filling. Crimp edges with a fork and place on a baking sheet. Brush tops with more beaten egg. Bake until golden brown,10 to 12 minutes.

CORN EMPANADAS
Back in 2013, David Tanis learned to make several versions of empanadas from his friend Fernando Trocca, an Argentine chef, including one filled with sweet corn. Here, Mr. Tanis uses potatoes, peppers and ham, in addition to corn, to fill the handmade dough. It's not a quick project, but it yields dividends and the satisfaction of pulling dozens of the small pies out of the oven.

Steps:
- Make the dough: Put 2 cups boiling water, 4 ounces lard and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir to melt lard and dissolve salt. Cool to room temperature.
- Gradually stir in flour with a wooden spoon until dough comes together. Knead for a minute or two on a floured board, until firm and smooth. Add more flour if sticky. Wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Make the filling: Melt 3 tablespoons lard in a wide heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook briskly, stirring, until softened and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Add potatoes, corn, garlic, cumin and thyme. Season generously with salt and pepper and stir well. Add about 1 cup broth or water and simmer until potatoes are softened and liquid has evaporated, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add roasted peppers, ham, ricotta and cayenne and stir well. Taste and adjust seasoning for full flavor (intensity will diminish upon cooling). Stir in Gruyère and scallions. Cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Divide chilled dough into 1-ounce pieces and form into 2-inch diameter balls. Roll each piece into a 4 1/2-inch circle. Lay circles on a baking sheet lightly dusted with flour.
- Moisten outer edge of each round with water. Put about 2 tablespoons filling in the center of each round. Wrap dough around filling to form empanada, pressing edges together. Fold edge back and finish by pinching little pleats or crimping with a fork.
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Place empanadas on parchment-lined or oiled baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. Brush tops lightly with lard or butter and bake on top shelf of oven until golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.

BAKED MEAT-FILLED EMPANADAS (EMPANADAS AL HORNO)
To Chileans, empanadas mostly mean empanadas al horno, which are frequently baked in a wood-burning oven. The classic versions are filled with seasoned minced (not ground) meat and onions and garnished with hard-cooked egg, olives and raisins. They can be made either in the half-moon shape that they usually take throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, or in a distinctively Chilean squared-off form made by folding all but the straight side of the semicircular turnover to make a package that is often four inches across. The dough is made with lard.

Steps:
- Melt lard in a 10- to 12-inch skillet. Add onion and sauté on medium until it barely starts to color. Add beef. Cook until ingredients are lightly browned. Add salt and pepper to taste, cumin, paprika and hot sauce. Set aside. Heat oven to 400 degrees.
- Roll dough as thin as possible. Cut 6-inch circles. Scraps can be re-rolled one time. Place some meat mixture on one half of each circle, leaving a 1/2-inch border around filling. Top with a slice of egg, some olive pieces and a few raisins. Brush egg on empty side of circle, fold dough over to make a half-circle and crimp edges. Traditional squared empanadas can be made by folding an inch or so of each of the pointed ends of the half-circle over to make straight sides, then folding up the rounded bottom to square off the empanada.
- Arrange empanadas on a baking sheet. Squared empanadas should be placed with folded side down. Bake 10 minutes. Turn empanadas over, bake 5 minutes longer, until lightly browned on both sides. Allow to cool briefly before serving.

My family enjoys having these beef turnovers in place of sandwiches for a change of pace. They freeze well and can be reheated in the microwave for a quick, hot meal.-Tammy Forbes, Lancaster, New Hampshire

- In a medium bowl, mix together the corn flour and salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the water and olive oil. Mix until dough forms a ball. If the dough is on the drier side, add a splash or two of water until the dough feels moist and pliable. Wrap the ball of dough with plastic wrap and allow to rest on the kitchen counter for 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, make the aji and filling.
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the diced potato and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes. When done, transfer to a colander to drain. Mash the potato lightly with a fork and set aside.
- Rub your palms with a bit of oil (this will help it from sticking). Scoop a few tablespoons of dough (about 2 ounces) onto your palm and roll into a smooth ball. Place the ball in between two pieces of plastic wrap and using a rolling pin, gently press the dough into a circle. (It's ok if the dough cracks a bit around the edges, but if it cracks completely that means it's not moist enough. You can fix it by adding a splash of water to the balls of dough, kneading it in and then re-rolling it. Not a fun solution but I've done this and it works great.)
