Ingredients
Let's gather the ingredients!
- Oaxaca cheese
- Birria meat
- Cilantro
- Purple onion
- Empanada discos
- Neutral cooking oil we used @chosenfoods avocado oil
Instructions
Let's Begin!
- Defrost your empanada discos, and take them out 30 min before assembly.
- Shred your Oaxaca cheese and dice and prep your purple onion and cilantro.
- Shred your Birria into bite-sized pieces.
- Once your empanada disco is thawed, start assembling your empanadas. Add your cheese, purple onion, cilantro, and shredded Birria.
- Fold the dough over the filling to create a moon shape, and press the edges together. Then use a fork to crimp and seal the edges tightly.
- Heat your oil in a deep skillet, over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, (tip: add the back of a wooden spoon or toothpick into your oil, if it starts bubbling, it’s ready) carefully add your empanadas.
- Fry each empanada for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Enjoy hot with a side of consome for dipping.
