Birria Empanadas

I made Birria some time back and froze what was left.  Since I’m iced in I got around to making these






Great second time around

    Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...

    TBH.. We had pie crust left over from the Holidays so I just used those. Likely a bit flaky for authentic but cleaned out more of the fridge.

    Pepper Jack, perfectly melted into the meat- no real sign of it.

    It was pie crust and after reforming it rolling it out that small one was the last one of the first batch.  Did much better in 2nd   batch which is pictured finished
