<p />After having some great authentic empanadas at a Columbian friends house, I wanted to try making some with pulled pork. I bought some pre-made empanada dough discs at a latin store and thawed out about a pound of pulled pork. I didn't have time to bake these in the egg, but they sure were good. A little smoke in the dough would have been killer.

    <p />Scotty's Inferno,
    did you put anything in with the pork, i think these were pork and a little bbq sauce with an enchalada sauce poured over the top. fried. i remember they were really good but have no frame of reference to how they are supposed to taste. would love to see a good authentic recipe, but maybe these are meant to be winged with whats on hand. these were done in the fall as there is a pumkin ale in the picture

    fishlessman, I did mix the pork up with a small amount of bbq sauce. I put a splash of tabasco sauce on every bite. The bottom line is, the pulled pork was a much tastier filling than my friend's. But, her corn meal dough, which was fried like yours, was fantastic. she made the dough with yellow corn meal, water, salt and pepper with no measurements. She had a little press that flattened each dough. I will go the fried route next time. I think pulled beef or brisket would be great as a filling as well.
