*The empanada shells you can find at a local hispanic market place, especially if it specializes in Argentina food. Either that or you could try a premade pastry shell.

**This is not super accurate. I can't find nutritional information on pastry shells and I threw away the original packaging. So probably double the amounts but I won't know til I buy another package of pastry shells. Sorry!
