Empanadas are a staple in Latin American cuisine and one of Mexico’s most popular dishes. They’re easy to make, and they can be made with a variety of fillings or toppings.

The traditional empanada filling is usually made with beef, but you can also use chicken or pork. Before adding it to the filling mixture, ensure your meat is cooked. You can use any cheese you like, but we recommend shredded cheddar cheese because it melts nicely when heated up in oil on top of the empanada crusts.

The dough of calentitos de rueda or churros is made with flour and water, then fried in olive oil until golden. The result is a delicious snack that can be served hot or cold.
