You can add anything to these you like. Fruits, other meats, the possibilities are endless. Adding cheese to the mix would be great. Unfortunately, I am dairy free until my son has weaned.

I didn't include a tortilla recipe because they are so easy. Flour, oil, salt, baking soda and warm water. That's it.

My grandma made these all the time and you can stuff them with anything. Although she made them from scratch, I found an easier way.

The recipe recently shared by @elisaoax, "Natilla or lechecilla (traditional Mexican sweet)," stole my family's heart. But you know, when it comes to eating, ideas are never lacking, and we thought it would make an excellent filling for empanadas. This is the dough I used, but you can fill them with any other sweet ingredient (jam, dulce de leche). And if you were wondering, sugar doesn't stick to them at the end, but the dough has such an incredible flavor that it doesn't need it.
