To make these delicious empanadas, you'll need the following ingredients:

- 1 pound chorizo sausage, diced
- 2 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 packages of empanada dough

To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add the potatoes, onion, and red bell pepper, and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 10-12 minutes. Add the cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes. Once it has cooled, stir in the green onions and cilantro.
Next, roll out the empanada dough and cut it into circles using a cookie cutter or a glass. Spoon a small amount of the chorizo and potato mixture onto each circle of dough, then fold the dough over and crimp the edges to seal.
Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
When they're done, remove the empanadas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. These Spicy Chorizo and Potato Empanadas are sure to be a hit with your guests, thanks to their delicious flavor and crispy texture.
