Charlie's Empanadas

I found Charlie's Empanada's at the Rockville Farmer's Market one day. I got the Philly cheese steak and the beef empanadas. When I got home, I cut both in half so that my husband and I could try them at the same time. We thought they were really good. The dough wasn't soggy after the 10 minute drive home. The edges were nicely crimped and plenty of filling on the inside. I'm not sure I tasted much cheese in the philly empanada. I didn't notice until I got home but the empanadas were of different sizes. The beef was larger. I wonder why. It was nice to be able to grab lunch while I was out at the farmer's market.

Charlie makes wonderful empanadas, and we stop by whenever we can see him at the Rockville Farmers' Market.We've enjoyed all of his empanada flavors, and each of the different fillings is wrapped and baked in a different, distinctive shape. We keep going back to the beef, spinach-feta, and chorizo potato empanadas, but there are many other options.Each one is made with care, and it's always a pleasure to chat with him if the line isn't too long!

Great empanadas! We got the beef, philly cheesesteak, chicken and fugazzata and they were are delicious, for a food stand they are great!
