Cheesy Chicken Empanada/Pastellios
- 1 pkg of frozen
empanadas (10 Goya discos)
- 2-3 cups of
shredded cooked chicken
- 1 can of
pimientos
- 1 can of green
chilies
- 2 cups of
shredded cheese (Mexican Blend)
- Diced jalapeno
peppers (depending on how spicy you want them... I also pour in some of the
juice..only a little though)
- 2 tablespoons of
Mayonnaise
- Finely chopped
onion
- About a bottle of
vegetable oil for frying
- Cook the
chicken and shred (I cook with adobo, oregano, sazon con culantro y achiote, pepper)
- Mix the chicken
in with the onions, pimientos, green chiles, peppers, mayo and cheese. I
sometimes add more spices for more flavor
- Take a
tablespoon or so of the mixture and add to each disc.
- Depending
on how big your frying pan is, I usually deep fry 1-2 at a time. Fry in
oil until brown.... usually only a minute or so, pay close attention to it so they do not over cook.
