Enhance the Filling:
- Add more vegetables: Include a variety of fresh or frozen vegetables, such as corn, black beans, or chopped spinach, for added texture, flavor, and nutrition.
- Use ground chicken thigh: Thigh meat provides more fat and flavor than breast meat, resulting in a juicier and more tender filling.
- Season generously: Add flavorful spices like cumin, paprika, chili powder, and oregano to enhance the taste of the chicken and vegetables.
Elevate the Dough:
- Use a combination of flours: Mixing all-purpose flour with masa harina (corn flour) creates a dough that is both soft and slightly crispy.
- Add herbs or spices: Infuse the dough with additional flavor by incorporating chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or basil, or ground spices like turmeric or ginger.
- Brush with butter: Brush the empanadas with melted butter before baking to give them a golden brown and flaky crust.
Empanada Assembly and Baking:
- Use a larger empanada cutter: Cut larger circles of dough to accommodate more filling and create a more substantial empanada.
- Seal tightly: Ensure the edges of the empanadas are securely sealed to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
- Bake thoroughly: Preheat the oven to the correct temperature and bake the empanadas until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
Accompaniments and Sauces:
- Serve with salsa: Offer a variety of salsas, such as tomato salsa, green salsa, or mango salsa, for dipping and flavor enhancement.
- Create a dipping sauce: Combine Greek yogurt, sour cream, and lime juice to make a creamy and tangy dipping sauce.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Sprinkle chopped cilantro, parsley, or scallions over the empanadas for additional freshness and flavor.
