- 1 cup Shredded cheese, Monterey Jack or Cheddar
- 2 Large eggs
- to taste Salt
- to taste Pepper
- 1/4 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 cup Salsa roja
- 1/2 cup Sour cream
Method
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and a pinch of salt, then add the cold butter and use a pastry blender or your fingers to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the shredded cheese to the bowl and mix well.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and a pinch of salt, then add the eggs to the flour mixture and mix until a dough forms.
- Divide the dough into 6-8 equal pieces, then roll each piece into a ball and flatten it slightly into a disk shape.
- To assemble the empanadas, place a spoonful of the shredded cheese in the center of each disk, then fold the dough in half and press the edges together to seal the empanada.
- Brush the tops of the empanadas with a little bit of water and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
