Categories     Antojitos

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups of masa harina
1-¼ cups of warm water (amount may vary depending on air humidity and other wheatear conditions.)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 pieces of round plastic cut out from a bag. (freezer bags are ideal for this purpose.)
2 cups of filling (cooked chicken, ground meat or grated cheese)
2 cups of shredded lettuce
1 avocado diced
About 1 1/2 cup of vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Prepare the dough in a bowl, mixing the masa harina, salt, and warm water to form a ball, knead dough until smooth. Divide the dough into 12 balls, and flatten and slightly cover with plastic wrap. Set aside.
  • Place one ball of dough between two pieces of plastic and press using a tortilla press, a heavy skillet or a dish. I know, you have seen the tortilla press, but somehow I love to use my glass dishes for this step. So, do not be afraid, use whatever you have.
  • Remove the top piece of plastic and spoon some of the stuffing onto the tortilla. Leaving enough room to seal the edges.
  • Using the piece of plastic fold the dough over to make a half moon shape turn over. Pinch the edges, making sure they seal to avoid any leaking of the mixture while frying. Remove the empanada from the plastic set aside on a large plate or tray and cover with a plastic wrap. Keep working with the rest of the dough making the empanadas.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet over high heat. It's frying time!
  • Deep fry the empanadas one or two at a time until golden brown.
  • About 2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot topped with lettuce and avocado. Eat them adding some salsa. After that, take a long walk.

EMPANADA DOUGH RECIPE - MASA PARA EMPANADAS



Empanada Dough Recipe - Masa Para Empanadas image

This recipe produces a sweet dough that contrasts perfectly with savory fillings. Empanada dough is less flaky than pie crust (although you can substitute frozen pie crust dough in a pinch) - it has a tender texture that soaks up the filling. This dough can be used for baked or fried empanandas. If you are going to fry the empanadas, omit the egg yolk and roll the dough out slightly thinner (less than 1/4" thickness).

Time 1h15m

Yield 10 10-12, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups flour
1 -2 teaspoon salt
2 -3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter, chilled
12 tablespoons lard or 12 tablespoons vegetable shortening, chilled
3/4-1 cup water
2 egg yolks

Steps:

  • Sift the flour into a bowl. Stir in the salt and the sugar.
  • Blend the butter and shortening (or lard) into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or with two knives, until fairly well blended.
  • Whisk the egg yolks wiht 3/4 cups water. Stir in the 1/2 cup of water/egg mixture, a little at a time until the dough starts to come together smoothly. Keep kneading the dough, adding more water/egg a little bit at a time as necessary (you made need a few tablespoons extra of water), until the dough is smooth. The dough will seem a bit shaggy until it has thoroughly chilled.
  • Cover the dough with saran wrap and refrigerate for about an hour. (Dough can also be kept overnight (or a couple of days) in the refrigerator) Dough should be soft and smooth, and not elastic - if you poke a hole in it with your finger, the indentation should remain.
  • Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and roll into desired thickness.
  • Makes enough dough for 10-12 large empanadas.

1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Make your masa dough. Mix the masa harina with the hot water and knead into a cohesive dough, about 2 or 3 minutes. You may need slightly more or less water: What you want is a moist masa that does not stick to your hands.
  • Cut out two sheets of plastic from a supermarket produce bag; the flimsy ones. These are better than heavy plastic. Put one sheet on your tortilla press, then pull off about 40 grams of masa dough, a bit larger than a walnut, or exactly the size of a walnut in its husk. Roll it into a ball and set it on the plastic. Put the other piece of plastic over it and press down with your hand a bit to flatten the dough somewhat. Lever your tortilla press down hard, but not all the way. Flip the tortilla over and lever it down again. This makes an evenly flat tortilla.
  • Get a large frying pan or heavy pot and pour enough oil to come up at least 1 inch up the sides, and ideally 2 inches. Heat it to between 325°F and 350°F.
  • Peel off the top piece of plastic and spoon a heaping tablespoon, more or less, onto the side of the dough closest to the lever, leaving about 1/2 inch space from the edge of the dough.
