I love to snack on almonds, pecans, peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, pepitas etc... I guess you get the picture that I adore a variety of nuts...but what was I to do when I ran out of my favorite...
Menestra de porotos is an Ecuadorian bean stew, made with beans simmered in a sauce of onions, tomatoes, garlic, cumin, chili powder and cilantro or parsley.
Shredded chicken, chipotle mayo, gooey cheese and fresh cilantro all tucked neatly into flaky pockets of deliciousness. Soon you'll be answering to Empanada Mama (or Papa).
