In this episode of I've Been Cooking, we’re serving up a bold fusion that brings two comfort food icons together—Mexican Pizza Empanadas. These handheld wonders combine the flaky goodness of a traditional empanada with the saucy, cheesy flavors of a classic pizza. Stuffed with melty mozzarella, spicy pepperoni, jalapeños, and tangy pizza sauce, it’s a mashup you didn’t know you needed—but will absolutely crave.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
- The origins of empanadas and how they've evolved across cultures
- How to assemble and bake empanadas that stay sealed and come out perfectly crisp
- Tips for adding heat, customizing fillings, and turning these into the ultimate party snack or weeknight dinner
