  • Preparation of the huitlacoche: chop the onion, chili, tomato, cilantro, and bacon, all finely chopped, put a little oil or butter (to taste) in the pan, and sauté.
  • When the bacon is sautéed, add the huitlacoche. Once it boils, remove it from the pan and let it rest for a moment.
  • Combine the milk with water, plantain sliced, salt, flour, and baking powder. Knead until you have a dough that is easy to work with. Let it rest for 3 hours covered.
  • Make the empanadas by rolling out the dough with a little flour. Cut with a round mold and place the huitlacoche filling in the center. Fold the dough and seal the edges well so that the filling does not come out.
  • Cook the empanadas in hot oil until they are cooked inside and golden outside. Let them rest on absorbent paper to remove excess grease.
  • Serve with guajillo sauce or green sauce.
