Maggie’s go-to hors d’ouevres for parties and last minute snacks…she always had puff pastry in the freezer and chorizo in the fridge. She famously made this for Gary to bring to a New Year’s Eve party with his girlfriend Anne’s family in 198X—perhaps the McDonald clans’ first encounter with Sueiro cooking-and apparently they were a big hit. It’s not much of a recipe, but that’s the whole point…if you really want to work you could make empanadilla dough from scratch…
