Mini Jamaican Beef Bites In Phyllo Shells
One of my favorite food finds when we moved to central Florida was savory empanadas. It seems all the islands have their own variation, and they’re all amazing. My favorite version that I’ve tried is from Jamaica. They use lots of curry powder and beef to make their empanadas (also known as a Jamaican beef patties) that you just can’t resist.
I wanted to take all those amazing flavors of Jamaican beef patties, and put them into an easy to make party appetizer. So I made the flavorful filling and put them in these cute little mini Athen’s phyllo shells.
These little bite-sized appetizers are great for parties and get-togethers. And with Memorial Day weekend coming up, these would make perfect little treats for your guests. My family loves them. And if you have leftover filling, you can serve it over white rice. It’s amazing!
