Low-fat cheese reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil until the pan glistens.

Add thinly sliced beef and let it cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, breaking it apart as it browns.

If the beef looks gray and sad, turn up the heat to make it sizzle instead of steam.

Add 1 finely chopped onion and cook until soft and golden, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Stir in garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper; mix well and let the flavors absorb.

Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.

Lay out a store-bought empanada disc on a flat surface and spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the beef mixture into the center.

Add 2 cups of shredded cheese on top of the beef mixture.

Fold the empanada in half and seal the edges by pressing with a fork or crimping them for a fancy touch.

Heat oil to 350°F and fry the empanadas for about 3 to 4 minutes per side until crispy and golden.

Let the empanadas drain on paper towels after frying.

For a healthier option, bake in a 375°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes, brushing with egg wash for a golden finish.

Alternatively, air fry at 375°F for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
