Making the Empanadas - Prepare the Tuna Filling

Ingredients

Place the eggs in boiling water and boil them until hard. Drain the water and immediately place in cold water to cool. When cooled, peel and chop eggs finely and set aside.

Open the tuna cans and drain them thoroughly, squeezing the oil or water that the tuna is packed in.

Place tuna in a mixing bowl and flake it into pieces with a fork. Add the chopped boiled eggs and mix. Add the sofrito to the tuna mixture to make a moist filling.

When the dough has risen, you are ready to assemble the empanadas.
