- For the filling, in a skillet, sauté the chopped onion and garlic in Nature in oil, add the ground meat and let it fry for five minutes.
- While it is frying, mix in a bowl the chicken broth and 1 tablespoon of Nature in chili tree sauce and garlic flakes; once well incorporated, add it to the skillet with all the other ingredients until the chicken broth boils (let it simmer for 10 to 15 minutes maximum over medium-high heat).
- For the dough: combine the lard, flour, and salt with your fingertips. Gradually add warm water until a dough is formed. Roll out with a rolling pin and cut circles about two bites (5 or 7 centimeters) in size and fill.
- Carefully seal by pressing the edges with a fork to prevent the filling from leaking out. Lightly poke the center of the empanada with a fork so it doesn't inflate too much.
- In a deep skillet, fry them until golden brown and serve them on a platter in the center of the table.
