easy-ilocos-empanada-recipe

Ilocos empanadas are a beloved Filipino street food known for their bold color, crisp shell, and savory, satisfying filling. They originate from Ilocos Norte, a province in the northern Philippines, where they are commonly sold fresh from roadside stalls and local markets. Unlike Spanish-style empanadas, Ilocos empanadas are made with a bright orange dough colored with achuete (annatto) and are fried until shatteringly crisp rather than baked.
