- Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the onions, sauté for 3-5 minutes, then add the garlic.
- Sauté for 1-2 minutes, then add the soy chorizo.
- Cook for 5 minutes, then add the paprika, cumin and oregano.
- Reduce to low and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Now it’s time to roll out the dough.
- Grab a small ball of dough, then roll it out into a thin circle using a rolling pin, or press it thinly in a tortilla press.
- Once you have each circle of empanada dough rolled out, fill them with a large spoonful of chorizo filling and a sprinkle of pepperjack cheese.
- Whisk the large egg and tbsp of water together to make the egg wash and brush the edge of the empanada.
- Fold together and use your fingers to crimp the edges.
- Brush the tops of each empanada with egg wash, then gently poke a couple of very small holes in the top.
- Place on a baking sheet and into the oven for 20-25 minutes.
