Slice the cream cheese into 16 equal sized slices. Do the same with the guava paste. Tip: You can do this easily by slicing in half and then into 8 sections of 2.
Place a slice of cream cheese and a slice of guava paste into the center of each empanada disc. Fold the dough over to close the empanada. Seal with your hands or crimp with a fork.
Fry the empanadas in hot oil until golden brown all around. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve with a sprinkle of confectioners sugar. Enjoy!
