Content: I use extra virgin olive oil. If you prefer, you may substitute another oil you have on hand. Ground beef: I use extra lean ground beef, if you substitute for another grade beef, remember to drain any excess fat. Conversely, if you substitute ground chicken or turkey, remember that you may need to add some extra oil and seasonings to keep the empanadas from being too dry and bland. Green bell pepper: These are a must-have in a Cuban sofrito. If you must, you may omit the peppers but there will be a significant loss of flavor. For a spicier sauce, omit green bell pepper and add diced jalapenos. If you are not afraid of the heat, leaving in the seeds and white interior veins of this pepper.
