Growing up in Puerto Rico, one of my favorite after school snacks were empanadas: pastry turnovers stuffed with meat, cheese or fruit. Baked or fried, sweet or savory, empanadas can be found not just in Latin America but all over the world. Choose your own filling adventure. Joining us today is one of the top queens from season one of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Jade Sotomayor, whose self-proclaimed social media hashtags “originalfish” and “originaltrade” always bring a smile to my face. And also joining us Jade’s soul sister Monica Beverly Hillz, whose coming out as trans on season five of Drag Race stands out as one of the emotional high points of the entire series. Please welcome these two Boriqua chicas to Cooking with Drag Queens!
