- Make the empanada dough: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, masa harina, baking powder and salt. Stir in the melted butter then gradually add the water, working it in with your hands to incorporate. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
- Make the filling: In a medium-size saucepan, add 2 quarts of water and bring to a boil. Add the tomatillos, jalapeños, onion and garlic. Simmer for 15 minutes until the tomatillos are soft. Drain and cool slightly. Combine the tomatillos, jalapeño, onion, garlic, cilantro and lime juice in a blender. Blend on medium speed for about 15 to 30 seconds or until it has a thin salsa consistency. Season to taste with salt and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 400°. On a sheet pan, season the chicken with olive oil and salt. Roast the thighs for about 45 minutes or until they are thoroughly cooked. Remove the chicken from the oven and let cool. Once cool, finely shred the chicken. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, queso fresco and Monterey Jack cheese. Pour in 1½ cups of the green chile purée and fold the ingredients together. Reserve the extra green chile sauce and save for another day.
- Make the corn relish: Place the corn in a large pot with enough water to cover and bring to a boil. Cook until the kernels are tender but crisp, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and cool in cold water. Use a knife to scrape the kernels from the cobs. Place the kernels in a medium bowl. Stir in the avocados, red onions, bell peppers and garlic. Add the cumin, red pepper flakes and cilantro. Mix in the vinegar, olive oil and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.
