Directions Easy Chicken Empanadas
Directions
-
Mix chicken with Mexican cheese blend, pimentos, green chiles, onion, mayonnaise, and jalapeno.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the center of each empanada disc. Run a wet finger around the rim of each disc. Fold into a half-moon shape and press edges together with a fork to seal well.
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Fry 1 to 2 empanadas at a time in the hot oil until brown, 1 to 2 minutes per batch.
