Since popping up at the Saturday Farmers’ Market, Newton resident and Chiqui’s Kitchen owner, Krysia Villón, has upped the city’s empanada game—big time. Chiqui’s has Peruvian empanadas packed with flavor and enveloped with a dough that is both sweet and savory. They’ll have frozen empanadas in two sizes— minis in packs of 25, which are easy Thanksgiving appetizers, and 3-packs of regular sized empanadas for quick meals on busy days. Mini empanada flavors include: Beef, Chicken, and Vegetarian Sweet Potato. Regular sized will also have Spinach & Cheese as an option. If you're looking to kick it up a notch, Chiqui's also offers 2 different styles of dipping sauces. While you can purchase the empanadas at the Thanksgiving Market, you may want to pre-order just to make sure you get exactly what you want. And since the empanadas are frozen, they’re great to stow away in the freezer for easy meals or kids' lunches all winter long!
