- 1/2 cup water
- 50 grams vegetable shortening
- 2 1/2 poblano peppers

- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- In a bowl, add the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the egg in the middle.
- Separately, melt the shortening in 1/2 cup warm water. Pour into the middle of the flour, salt, and sugar and knead. The dough should be soft and smooth. Cover with a rag and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Make 4-centimeter balls. Flatten with the rolling pin until thin.
- Roast the poblano chilies, let them sweat, then peel. Cut into thin strips and set aside.
- Spray cooking oil into a skillet and place over medium-high heat. Slice the onion into thin half moons and add to the skillet. Once it turns golden brown, add the garlic and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove and mix with the poblano chili strips. Let it cool.
- Add the cream and cheeses. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Fill the empanada dough circles with the filling. Close the empanadas and seal with a fork. Brush with the remaining egg and make a few holes in the empanada to let the vapor out.
