Method

1

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

Combine beaten eggs, shredded cheese, diced protein, diced vegetable, chopped seasoning vegetable, and salt in a medium bowl; mix until evenly distributed.

3

Warm each flour tortilla briefly (15 seconds in a dry skillet or microwave) to make it pliable. Place on a flat surface.

4

Spoon approximately 1/3 cup filling onto the center of each tortilla. Fold in half to create a half-moon shape, then press edges firmly with a fork to seal.

5

Transfer sealed empanadas to prepared baking sheet. Brush tops lightly with melted butter.

6

Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the outside.

7

Cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheet, then serve warm.
