How to Make Sopaipillas Stuffed With Beef

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  2. Gradually add 1 cup warm water, 1/4 cup milk, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, mixing with a fork until a soft dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for 15 minutes.
  5. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
  6. Roll each portion into a 6 1/2-inch circle.
  7. Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  8. Carefully fry each sopaipilla for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and puffed.
  9. Remove the sopaipillas and drain on paper towels.
  10. While the sopaipillas are frying, prepare the beef filling: In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  11. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  12. Stir in 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed beef broth, 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (undrained), 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  13. Reduce heat to low, simmer for 10 minutes, or until the liquid is slightly reduced and the flavors have melded.
  14. Cut a slit in the side of each sopaipilla.
  15. Fill each sopaipilla with approximately 1/2 cup of the beef mixture.
  16. Top with shredded cheese (optional).
  17. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings (e.g., sour cream, salsa).
