Empanada Filling

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until translucent.

  2. 2

    Add Chorizo and Potatoes

    Add the crumbled chorizo and diced potatoes to the skillet. Cook until the potatoes are tender and the chorizo is browned.

  3. 3

    Combine Chicken and Spinach

    Stir in the shredded chicken, chopped spinach, and coconut milk. Cook for another 5 minutes until spinach is wilted. Season with salt, black pepper, and cilantro.

  4. 4

    Fill the Empanadas

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the empanada dough and cut into circles. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each circle, top with diced avocado and Oaxaca cheese. Fold over and seal the edges.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Arrange the empanadas on a baking sheet and brush with a little olive oil. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
