Easier Chamorro EMPANADA | Guam Food | Chamorro Recipes

Chamorro empanada is the ultimate snack, and sometimes a meal, with a filling of rice and chicken wrapped in a masa crust. It's easier to make this empanada if you use leftovers from your fridge and freezer. This Guam empanada filling is actually a soup, or chalakiles. Once the chalkiles gets cold, it becomes thick enough to use as the filling for empanada.

Thank you for SUBSCRIBING bit.ly/2No9eVA to my Chamorro/CHamoru food channel where I share all things Guam 671 Chamorro cooking recipes, Guam 671 food, and more yummy dishes! Guam is an island of the Mariana Island archipelago that includes the Mariana islands of Rota, Saipan, Tinian, and Pagan. The CHamorus of the Marianas share many wonderful CHamoru cuisine foods, yet there are also unique island food differences due to their colonial standings at the end of the Spanish-American war - divided between the United States, Germany, and Japan.

Sooo I'm just wondering if you miss that tostos flavor in the filling? I love the simplicity of this recipe, for sure our ancestors worked very hard to achieve their flavors, luckily for us we are learning different techniques!

[@GuamMamaCooks]

Not really. I wanted to use up leftovers. Without leftovers, I cook it like normal.

[@MGOpinoygotchu]

So you don’t need to add cornstarch?

[@GuamMamaCooks]

Some folks do, I don't.
