Today I bring you this simple but delicious meat dumplings recipe. The dumplings like everyone, but also have the advantage that they admit hundreds of different varieties. You can fill them with any ingredient and they will always be delicious. In addition, today we are going to bake our dumplings and in this way we will save many calories and fat that accumulate if they are fried.
These dumplings are perfect to serve as a second course at dinner time, but also if you organize a meal with guests. In this case, serve them with some sauces as a side, for example homemade guacamole or Mexican sauce for fajitas. The taste of Mexican sauces is perfect, since the minced meat carries a very tex-mex taste for spices. We get down to business!
