Steps

1

In a skillet, melt the butter and sauté the onion. When the onion starts to turn translucent, add the garlic, dried hot chili pepper, oregano, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper. Stir for 1 minute.
2

In a separate pot, bring the beef broth to a boil. Once boiling, add the sautéed mixture and the canned beef. Stir well to break up the beef and avoid lumps. Turn off the heat and add the flour, mixing thoroughly so there are no lumps. Turn the heat back on for 2 minutes, stirring constantly so it doesn't stick.
3

Spread the mixture on a tray to cool.
4

Prepare the breading. Place the flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with cayenne pepper in separate plates.
5

Lightly oil your hands and shape the mixture into croquettes of your desired size and shape. Coat each croquette first in flour, then in egg, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture. This recipe makes a good amount. Fry in hot oil until golden brown. Enjoy!
