Ingredients
  

  • 10 Empanada Wrapper thawed*
  • 4 ounces Cream Cheese
  • 2 ounces Guava Paste
  • Vegetable Oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • 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.
