Empanadas

Although they are eaten all over Latin America, there is a whole culture behind empanadas in the Dominican Republic. You can find people selling them on every street corner, and with all the fillings you could imagine. The empanadas or rellenos are crunchy and delicious. They are made by folding the dough around a filling (cheese, ham, stripe chicken, bacon, pizza sauce, you name it) and deep-frying it for a few minutes. Simple and yummy.
