Cuisine Latin American South American Peruvian Empanada Filling 4.3 (8) 5 Reviews 5 Photos This is my grandmother's recipe for Peruvian beef empanada filling. Use homemade pie crust or, in a pinch, refrigerated pie crust to make these Peruvian turnovers. Lightly dust powdered sugar over the baked empanadas and serve with lime wedges for authentic flair.
