How To Make Queso Fundido Empanadas
To make these cheesy, chorizo-packed empanadas, start by roasting and peeling poblano peppers, then chop them into small pieces. In a skillet, sauté onion in butter until soft, add chorizo, and cook until browned. Stir in the roasted poblanos, let the mixture cool slightly, and then fold in shredded Oaxaca and Chihuahua cheeses. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each empanada dough disc, fold and seal the edges, and brush with egg wash. Bake at 375°F for 20–25 minutes until golden, or fry at 350°F for about 3–4 minutes per side for a crispy finish.
