Hey, everybody! How’s it going?

I’m not much of a cook, but I love watching those cooking shows and I came across this video of a Mexican show called Sazónarte (sazón = spice + arte = art). In this video they teach how to make Argentinean recipe empanadas – I won’t explain what it is, just watch it and trust me, it’s finger-lickin’ good!

100g de queso manchego
