How to Make Empanada and Sope Dough {Video} One of my fondest memories is spending time in the kitchen with my mami making tender flaky empanadas stuffed with rich pumpkin filling.

FUN! We decided to host a fiesta where guests would bring a variety of toppings and fillings and we would show them the process of making empanada and sope dough…. Read More
