Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour; ¼ tsp fine sea salt; 3 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed; 3 tbsp neutral oil, divided; 1 large egg yolk; 1 tbsp cachaça (or white rum); 2–3 tbsp ice water; 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed; 6 garlic cloves, unpeeled; 2 tsp ground cumin; 1 tsp smoked paprika; 2 tbsp fresh lime juice; ½ tsp fleur de sel; 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil (for garlic oil); 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Hand-filled empanada dough—enriched with a touch of cachaça and egg—yields a shatter-crisp exterior when pan-seared. Inside, a silky mash of roasted chickpeas infused with charred garlic, cumin, and lime juice creates an earthy, pungent core that rewards a confident bite.
