@marymac24 I like seeing Terri as well. At this point Steve is pretty polished in his delivery. But Terri keeps it real with responses like "it's good" or "needs more cheese". A woman of few words, at least on camera. 😁
Thank you for the great idea! I don’t have an empanada maker yet but I just “forked” the edges. 😂 I did leftover shredded chicken with sugar free bbq sauce and cheddar. What a game changer. The possibilities are endless! Thank you so much! I am so excited. 🎉
I love Rao’s sauces! You are right they are the lowest in carbs for prepared tomato sauces and I find they are perfect for adding to Italian sausage or chopped beef. Last week I used a jar with some spaghetti squash for dinner.
I just added the empanada maker to my Amazon cart..... Me and my wife like the la bandarita low carb wraps also.... One thing you may want to try is to not put sauce in the pocket but heat dish of the sauce and dip... That is what we used to do before we went low carb
Thanks Steve! I made a pizza casserole last night. Now I want to take my La Banderi’s and scoop some of my casserole in for tonight’s dinner. Great idea! 😋
The cool thing is that you can make empanadas like this with almost any leftovers. I did it with leftover beef spareribs and some sharp white cheddar. Play around and have fun. 🙂👍🏻
These would be fun to make with Colton! Thanks for the video. I'm going to give it a go with Thanksgiving leftovers. Seems like a unique & delicious way to use them up.
This looks so delicious. I think I just got rid of my empanada maker when I cleaned out my cabinet 🤦♀️ Never thought about using it for something like that. Might have to go to the dollar tree lol
Steve, great recipe and a game changer for me. I just started keto two weeks in and I needed something different, I typically don’t like those brand of tortillas. However I had some in the fridge and they are delicious when you stuff them an air fry them thank you for all you do . Great channel!
Steve, you are officially in my will. I even found my empanada press and made a couple of these babies in my old Ninja Foodie today. I have trouble pressing hard enough with these darn crippled hands, so I put it on the floor and stepped on it! It worked!
Nice and simple recipe. That’s how I like it. I just used your link for the empanada maker. This will be great also for leftover fajitas filling and leftover butter chicken. Thanks!
I really like this recipe. It's easy and tastes great. When I saw you use the empanada maker in a previous video, I immediately made myself a pizza empanada using my empanada maker. If the tortillas are a bit large, like mine (Mission Carb Balance) I just open the empanada maker up to a circle, and press down using the bottom to cut the tiny bit of excess off. I didn't mix my ingredients, rather I layered them on one half of the tortilla. Yum!
I agree with you re: La Banderita tortillas. The are the best tasting in my opinion of the low carb, zero net carb choices. I use them a lot and now want to try your hand pie ideas with several filling options, both savory and sweet. Thanks to you and Terri for the pizza pocket review.
By the way, I made the whipping cream dressing with black garlic salt and freshly grated Parmesan again…kind of my go to dressing…so easy and freakin delish! I dint even need to look at your recipe as I know it by heart 💜
That’s a fun treat. I appreciate the tip about the snack size tortillas. I have been making pizza on tortillas in my air fryer but my tortillas are too large.
La Bandarita has at least 3 sizes of low carb soft taco shells / tortilla wraps. The "snack size" just happens to fit perfectly on a jumbo empanada maker. 😉
Awesome video! I went online at Amazon last week to see this empanada maker for $6.92 and today.....$7.70! Yes, you did say in your last video that the prices had gone up since you bought yours from Amazon. If anyone wants one, you better order it soon!....before the price goes up....again. I went to a thrift store and got mine for less than $3. I am so excited to make this recipe...and others. Keep sharing these kinds of videos. I sure enjoy them! I also use Banderita tortillas....good taste, good price.
PS. And the recipes can be endless....any meat (cooked or shrimp, crabmeat, tuna, ham, salami), any kind of cheese, seasonings, sauces, jalapenos, peppers, onions....errrr....I am making myself hungry right now! :)
I started using the La Banderi a couple of weeks ago after watching your previous video. I have been loving it! Try brushing slightly melted butter with garlic powder in it and some kosher salt on top! 😋
Hello, Steve, wonderful to see you again!!! It's been a good minute!!😉👋 These hot pockets look SCRUMPTIOUS!!! Darn you, I haven't seen you in a while, and you've already bamboozled me into buying a new kitchen gadget!!!😂😂😂😂😂 Just kidding, the empanada maker looks way neat. Thank you for your great content.❤❤
I think whole milk mozzarella will give the gooey-melty result faster than part skim. I've even found it pre-shredded in a grocery store, but can't remember which one. Thanks for the tip on amping up the Rao's to make it more like pizza sauce! I even find their pizza sauce lacking in tomato-ey flavor.
Extra cheese is always the way to go! I think I'll add some garlic powder and Italian seasoning. BTW, I was checking your Amazon list yesterday and noticed the lupini rice, noodles is no longer there, that's what I was going for. Am I missing it or do you no longer recommend it?
I knew my seldom-used empanada maker would come in real handy one day….today is the day. 👍🏻😄 Could you please tell me where you buy your LaBandarita tortillas? I can’t remember if this is a regular store-bought item or one I need to look for online. Thanks!
This just might be fun to do. So many ways to make to an empanada. Now I need to see if I can find La Banderita locally. I see few stores carry the brand but not the snack size.
LOL, Steve, when you said "pepperoni concentration in my pockets" I had a total mental picture of you walking around with pants pockets full of pepperoni. I literally did LOL.
These look delicious! I don't have an air fryer, but could I do them in the oven instead? I will definitely be ordering the empanada maker. I can think of a lot of things to put in the little pockets. Thanks for the great idea!
You could probably do them in a convection oven, though you might want to increase the temp to 400 and you will probably need to bake them a bit longer.
I like the Aldi wraps (L'oven Fresh-Keto Friendly), but they are also too big for the empanada maker. They do make a good pizza crust though (I prefer the super thin crust pizzas). I'll have to look for the La Bandarita brand tortillas.
I'll have to check out the Aldi wraps. The Turano brand is the perfect size/thickness to substitute as an eggroll wrapper, but they take my glucose higher than La Bandarita and use canola oil.
These look so delicious! Thanks for another great recipe and video! Do you have a link for these tortillas? I see the ones you are using have 2 net carbs. There are so many on Amazon but I can’t find any with 2 net carbs. Any advice would be appreciated.😊
Good video Steve I just got my empenada maker from your link I think I can do a lot with this little tool....I don't remember did you ever make ravioli with this tool?
This looks so good! I have been trying to make something like this but never considered an Empanada maker! How do you thinks this would do with Egglife wraps instead of tortillas?
@@SeriousKeto Well, _she_ was interesting. I only posted because I believe you use the software for your CGM. I think she had to work a little hard to sane-wash RFK, Jr., which I can say without getting political. But it's always good to bring up metabolic health and how little doctors know about nutrition and chronic diseases. Undiscussed was her inherent conflict of interest as someone who has a competing stake in the marketplace and that she's a vegan (or was, per Levels podcast info). But most of what she said would appeal to the health-focused keto crowd (esp the Overtime segment on YT).
@ every Mission product I’ve used has spiked my glucose. I think I tried the Crepinis a few years ago and they were too flimsy to act as anything other than a crepe.
Ooooo...wanna try this for sure. QUESTION: Are you using the La Banderita Carb Counter Street Taco 4.5" Tortillas? I've looked at the La Banderita choices at my store and it doesn't say snack size, but this 4.5" one is the smallest diameter low-carb version my store carries. I see the empanada maker is 6.25" so wanted to check. Thanks for another news you can use recipe!
I suspect that would work just fine. They are La Bandarita "Snack Size". They are a size in between street taco and their tortilla wraps. I'm guessing 6" in diameter.
I was thinking for those of us who don't have an empanada maker, we could use the same filling between two tortillas and fry it in a pan to make a pizza tortilla. I do this with carne asada and Mexican cheese.
Thank you so much for this great recipe idea. Can you plz let me know the size of the tortilla? You explained in the video that they are “snack size” but the smallest ones in the supermarket are street tacos. Thank you again
Those pizza hot pockets look delicious! I’m mostly carnivore right now. Do you have a recipe for a pepperoni pizza bowl? Currently when I have a pizza craving I’ll order a pizza and just eat the topping. Sure would like a recipe that I can make up myself but I haven’t figured out a yummy recipe yet for a cheesy pepperoni pizza bowl without grains of any type. Can you help?
Love seeing Terri taste test.
@marymac24 I like seeing Terri as well. At this point Steve is pretty polished in his delivery. But Terri keeps it real with responses like "it's good" or "needs more cheese".

Love that you’re back in the kitchen, Steve! Thanks for the empanada reminder.
I'm almost always in the kitchen; I just don't bring the camera set-up. 😉
Imagine a “gobbler” one: turkey, cheese, cranberry dipping sauce yum yum thank you!!!
My empanada maker just arrived and now you have provided me with the perfect dinner recipe....thank you!
Thank you for the great idea! I don’t have an empanada maker yet but I just “forked” the edges. 😂 I did leftover shredded chicken with sugar free bbq sauce and cheddar. What a game changer. The possibilities are endless! Thank you so much! I am so excited. 🎉
These tortillas are a game changer for me. They didn't raise my glucose levels either. Thank you so much for testing these Steve
Looks so yummy 😋 Thanks Steve for another delicious recipe! I like when Terri is in your videos. Have a great weekend!

I am making this recipe tomorrow, perfect for a Saturday evening when is cloudy and cold outside, thank you Steve
These will make great football night food! Thank you Steve, another great video. Hello to the Mrs.
Nice and simple recipe. That’s how I like it. I just used your link for the empanada maker. This will be great also for leftover fajitas filling and leftover butter chicken. Thanks!
You can turn practically any leftover into a "hot pocket" with this method. I feel like a kid with an Easy Bake Oven again. 🙂
That seems like a banger and love the idea of simple empanadas. Good work!

Thanks Steve! I just followed your link for the empanada press and purchased one. 🙂
❤. I will definitely do this. Thanks for this video. Take care of ourself.

Love this recipe...searched for the sweet ones...can't find the video. Going to try a breakfast one...doing in the air fryer..game changer.
Here you go: ua-cam.com/video/L1VloZfYnEI/v-deo.htmlsi=jCLvfyoGzwOOSZP0
That video has me doing a faux apple pocket pie.
I see you found a better fitting tshirt like you said you were looking for. You look great! Oh, and so do the pizza pockets! 😀
Now I am in the mood for pizza pockets!
I started using the La Banderi a couple of weeks ago after watching your previous video. I have been loving it! Try brushing slightly melted butter with garlic powder in it and some kosher salt on top! 😋
Yum
You guys are Wisconsinites so of course you w love all that awesome cheese! As a northeastern I do too!
Thanks Steve! All I could hear in the back of my mind during this vid is the Jim Gaffigan bit… “ Hooooot Pockeeeeeeet….”😅
Thanks again Steve 😬
Looks great, I will definitely try it ❤
Looks great
Well now. Who needs an empanada maker 🙋♀️
Hello, Steve, wonderful to see you again!!! It's been a good minute!!😉👋 These hot pockets look SCRUMPTIOUS!!! Darn you, I haven't seen you in a while, and you've already bamboozled me into buying a new kitchen gadget!!!😂😂😂😂😂 Just kidding, the empanada maker looks way neat. Thank you for your great content.❤❤
Rao's Arrabiatta sauce & La Bandarita zero carb tortillas are always on my weekly shopping list.
Then you’re well on your way. 😉👍🏻
That's a thumbs up !
LOVE your channel!!! just trying to gently suggest, Rao's sounds like rowz... Grazie !!!!
I used to pronounce it that way and was told repeatedly that I was wrong and that it’s pronounced Ray-ohs.
@@SeriousKeto okee dokee darlin!! I got those Banderitas on my to buy list YEAH!🤩
i really liked this video
Thank you

You should try Yo Mama’s brand marinara sauce. Lowest net carb count that I have found and very tasty.
I'll keep my eyes open for that. Thanks.
Extra cheese is always the way to go! I think I'll add some garlic powder and Italian seasoning. BTW, I was checking your Amazon list yesterday and noticed the lupini rice, noodles is no longer there, that's what I was going for. Am I missing it or do you no longer recommend it?
If you use the link on any of my Aviate pasta videos, does that work? Those videos also include a coupon code you can use at checkout.

@ I get them at the grocery store. Some Walmarts also carry them.
@@SeriousKeto That’s what I was hoping- thanks! (No idea why I posted under this other person’s post. It’s been a day….😵💫 lol
Yummy. I would make one with ricotta.
Great idea
I know what I'm trying this weekend! :D
Great video. More please. I wish keto products didn’t cost so much! Thank you
Fortunately, La Bandarita tortillas aren't that expensive (besides not spiking my glucose or causing me inflammation).
1 or 2 tablespoons of parmesan/asiago cheese might dress it up nicely. Thanks for the video. Great idea.
This just might be fun to do. So many ways to make to an empanada. Now I need to see if I can find La Banderita locally. I see few stores carry the brand but not the snack size.

nice.. i humbly suggest putting all the cheese separately on one side and the rest of the sauce mix on the other!

@@JeanneanGreen I appreciate your persistence. 🙂👍🏻
Stop this is the one frozen food I have been craving!! I did not know these wraps were “clean”
It depends on your definition of “clean”. But they don’t spike my glucose and they use olive oil as their fat and that’s good enough for me.
@@SeriousKeto me tooo
@@SeriousKeto I know you have that tortilla mega review but thoughts on things like Egg wraps? TJS egg wraps Crepinis, also the Mission carb tortilla?
@ every Mission product I’ve used has spiked my glucose. I think I tried the Crepinis a few years ago and they were too flimsy to act as anything other than a crepe.
La banderita are the best

Thanks for another news you can use recipe!
The are labeled as “snack size” with 2g net carbs. They are in between street taco and their standard Carb Counter tortilla wraps.
Do you think that these could be made ahead of time and frozen? It looks like a snack to keep on hand. What size tortilla did you use. Thank you.
I suspect that would work just fine. They are La Bandarita "Snack Size". They are a size in between street taco and their tortilla wraps. I'm guessing 6" in diameter.
I was thinking for those of us who don't have an empanada maker, we could use the same filling between two tortillas and fry it in a pan to make a pizza tortilla. I do this with carne asada and Mexican cheese.
I could see that.
Have you ever tried using using egg life wraps?
I have in other applications, but I don't like the taste of them when air fried. Also, they are too big for the empanada maker.
Of course you need more cheese - you ARE from Wisconsin after all!
But when it comes to cheese we’re ALL Wisconsonians ultimately 😂
I give you my word, I will never scrimp on the cheese again. 😉
Thank you so much for this great recipe idea. Can you plz let me know the size of the tortilla? You explained in the video that they are “snack size” but the smallest ones in the supermarket are street tacos. Thank you again
They are labeled "Snack Size". They are a size in between street taco and their tortilla wraps. I'm guessing 6" in diameter.
Egg life wraps would get soggy I bet. Looks so yummo
I'm also not sure how they would bake up. It seems to me I tried air frying one of them a couple of years ago and didn't care for how they turned out.
Thanks Steve and Terri! Of course you like extra cheese….your from Wisconsin 😂❤
:) ty!

Do you think you could make these, freeze for later then air fry?
I don’t see any reason why not.
La Banderita is my favorite!
