How to Make Beef Stuffed Sopaipillas

  1. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess fat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper, and 2 cloves minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Prepare the Sopaipilla dough according to package directions or your favorite recipe (approximately 6-8 large).
  6. Preheat your fryer or a large pot with enough oil for deep frying to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Fill each Sopaipilla with a spoonful of the beef mixture.
  8. Carefully fold the Sopaipilla in half or over to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges to seal.
  9. Fry the stuffed Sopaipillas in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  10. Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  11. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce (sour cream, guacamole, or salsa are great options).
