Empanadillas de pizza

Ingredientes

• 10 empanadilla dough disks
• 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 3/4 cup marinara sauce
• 2 cups oil

Preparación

1. 1

   In a small bowl add the mozzarella and cheddar cheese with the marinara sauce and mix. With the help of a blender or food processor blend the cheeses and sauce until you get a chunky mix.

2. 2

   Add 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture on one side of the empanadilla disk and fold the dough to a little more than half of the disk. Press down in that seam to seal the filling in. Repeat this for all 10 disks.

3. 3

   Lightly wet your fingers and press down on the border of the dough. Take half-inch pieces and fold them in to make a braid with the dough. Repeat this step to all empanadillas.

4. 4

   Add oil to a large pan over high heat. Cook empanadillas for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from oil to drain onto a paper towel or cooling rack.
