Method
- Start by prepping your corn tortillas, lime, cilantro so the cooking goes quickly.
- Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the leeks and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Turn the heat up, add the empanada, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
- Stir in the black pepper along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
- Taste and adjust, then finish with a knob of butter right before serving.
- Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
