Chebureki, well known for there half moon shapes and juicy meat fillings are popular meat turnovers through out the Eastern European culture. There’s something about these fried folded meaty turnovers that no wonder they made a great street food (known for being sold in some flea markets too.)  Making your own dough isn’t as time consuming as you may think. With a mixer and a rolling pin you can have these fried in no time. Now you can totally make chebureki using uncooked tortillas (which can be found at some Coscto’s) or even regular flour tortilla’s (yes, I’ve tried some before just use an egg yolk to seal the edges) but nothing compares to made-from-scratch chebureki, that aren’t that hard to make after all.

5. Roll out each piece into a 9-inch circle and fill one half with 2 tbsp of the meat filling. Fold in half and seal edges with a fork, dusting flour as you go to prevent any sticking.
