Fab-Five Essay



Sir James Matthew Barrie writes , "If you cannot teach me how to fly , teach me how to sing." This quote means that if you can't learn how to do one thing, you can always do another thing . Its impossible to teach someone how to fly but you can teach someone how to sing . It also reminds me that there are things that I can teach to others . If i had to teach something to someone, I would teach them how to make empanadas . YUM ! I would show them how to tenderize the meat, what seasoning to put in it and how to fry them .

First you need to to gather all the ingredients . You need Ground Beef , seasoning , cheese and Goya discos . Now you need to cook the ground beef separately from the rest . To make the meat taste extra good you need to put the seasoning in it . I suggest to put a bit of salt , pepper , adobo , and other types of seasoning that you want, but remember not to put too much seasoning . You don't want to make it too saltly or anything . Now that you put seasoning in it you must mix it all up . Take the frying pan , put a little bit of oil in it and make sure the flame is low . Put the meat in there and let it cook .
When its done cooking you should drain the oil in the strainer .

Next you must take out the goya discos and place them on a plate . Take the Cheese put it on the goya disco then put the meat on top . When your done with that you have to fold it in half and take the fork and press down to make striped marks . Turn it around to the other side and do the same . Don't press it too hard, you don't wanna break it . 

Now that you've completed making it you must fry it . Take the frying pan, put oil in it and let it heat up . Make sure the flame is low once again . You don't want to burn it . Once the oil is hot you can put the empanada in it . In about 5-9 minutes it should be done cooking . You may take it out and let it air out . The empanada is hot ! Then once its good and not that hot , you can eat it and enjoy it ! 

In Conclusion ,  you should make Empanadas =)
