Sure, everyone loves a taco, but empanadas have a distinct doughy upper hand: that crunch factor.
You can fill that crispy golden dough with pretty much whatever you want, but here Chef Ryan Wiebe seasons up some chicken thighs with our beer-infused Spiceology X Fat Tire Summer BBQ blend, throws in some cheese and calls it good.
Never tried any of our Fat Tire collab blends? Summer BBQ is a great blend all year round with onion, brown sugar, garlic, and celery salt with mild heat.Author: Chef Ryan Wiebe
