Welcome to Tasty Tuesday! As some of you may know, my husband and I, along with our families, went to Mexico for vacation last week. We had such a great time, but sadly only had a chance to eat real Mexican food only once…but it was VERY good! We went on a Mayan Jungle expedition, and at the end of our adventures the local community made a traditional Mexican meal for us.
It included several dishes made in clay pots over a wood charcoal fire. One of the side dishes was empanadas…SO good! They had three varieties: mashed potatoes, black beans, & chicken. My favorite was the mashed potato & my husband loved the chicken (of course…it’s meat!) But I thought I would give them a try at home. I did some searching for recipes and came across these…
There are SO many other things you can fill the empanadas…sweet or savory…click here to see some ideas on Pinterest. Has anyone ever made homemade Tortillas or Empanadas? My friend and I made vegetarian empanadas in a cooking class once…and those were very good too, but they used store bought dough…I will love to make my own and fried, not baked. Hopefully I’ll have a chance to make it in the next couple of days…let me know if you have any tips!
