Ingredients

10 Empanada Wrappers, thawed*
4 ounces Cream Cheese
2 ounces Guava Paste
Vegetable Oil, for frying

Directions

Slice the cream cheese into 1/4 inch slices. Dice the guava into 1/4 inch cubes.
Take 1 slice of cream cheese and place on half of empanada disc. Top with a few cubes of guava paste. Fold dough over and press edges to seal. Crimp edges with a fork. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
To cook, heat 1/2 inch of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add empanadas to pan, but do not over-crowd. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip empanada and cook for another 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Continue process until all the empanadas have been fried.

Notes

If you cannot find empanada discs in the freezer section, you can substitute refrigerated pie dough instead.
