Try this easy and authentic dough for making empanada pastry rounds! It's quick to make since all ingredients are mixed in a food processor, then kneaded just very quickly, and it's done. You can make it in advance: cut dough into rounds and freeze them for later.

- 2 cups all-purpose flour , sifted
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter , chilled and cubed
- 1 egg
- 6 tablespoons warm water

Dust a work surface with flour and knead dough for 1 minute. Roll out thinly and cut into rounds; use right away for your favorite sweet or savory empanadas, or freeze for later.

Roasted Sweet Potato, Black Bean, and Chorizo Breakfast Bowls
These breakfast bowls are a change from the usual and are loaded with various flavors and textures. Home- or store-made chorizo is best, but feel free to use your favorite brand. You may combine sweet potatoes, black beans, chorizo, and avocados before topping them with the egg. I like to top mine with cotija cheese, cilantro, and chipotle hot sauce.
