Whoops meant to I say use the Goya empanada disks.

I use the empanadas and usually make some variation of:

Beans with grated cheese and some spices
Mushrooms sautéed with garlic onion and thyme and a small amount of mozarella, Manchegl or similar
Wilted spinach with garlic and a little cheese

If you use meat (usually leftover), especially shredded chicken you really need a fair amount of sauce to keep it from getting dry. And make sure the ingredients are cold when you fill the disks — if it’s warm it melts the fat in the disk and it all ends up soggy.

I bake in oven but have also fried in shallow fat.

Then you are eating poorly made empanadas. Make your own dough, add meat, and they're so much better.

Same.

You can buy empanada dough discs in the freezer section

Please post the general recipe and what dough you use. Sounds like a wonderful cross of empanadas and Stromboli.

I make them with picadillo filling and using store-bought puff pastry dough, and bake them.

But oh well. I guess any filling inside of empanada dough is delicioso.

I might make some for dinner tonight now.

Did you know that you can also make a big batch and freeze for later use?

Doesn’t sound healthy at all with all that cheese.

I'd love to give it a try. Can you suggest a recipe?

Also easy to make them in bulk and they make great leftovers!

Recently learned about making empanadas with remade dough and in the air fryer. We really love them and I like how we can make varied fillings and make multiple kinds. We eat with a side salad.

So far for fillings we have done:

-Spinach, ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan
-Vegetarian Philly cheese steak with beefless crumbles, peppers, onions, provolone cheese
-Pizza empanadas with tomato sauce, cheese, pizza topping fillings
