Baked Beef Empanadas (Light) image

From Cooking Light--they use wonton skins for easy assembly. Haven't tried it yet. This makes 36 empanadas at 3 per serving so I plan to freeze most.

Time 1h15m

Yield 36 empanadas

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup finely chopped red potatoes
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup beef broth
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 lb boneless beef top sirloin steak, trimmed and diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon cold water
36 wonton wrappers
cooking spray
fresh cilantro stem (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine first 10 ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat; simmer 8 minutes or until potato is done, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Cool.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F Place 2 baking sheets in oven for about 10 minutes.
  • Drain meat mixture in a colander over a bowl. Discard liquid. Finely chop meat mixture with a knife, or place in a food processor, and pulse 2 times or until finely chopped. Combine cornstarch and water, stirring with a whisk.
  • Working with one won ton wrapper at a time (cover the remaining won ton wrappers with a damp towel to keep them from drying), spoon 1 tablespoon beef mixture into center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges of each wrapper with the cornstarch mixture. Bring 2 opposite corners together. Pinch the points to seal, forming a triangle. Place filled wrapper on a wire rack. Repeat the procedure with the remaining beef mixture, won ton wrappers, and cornstarch mixture.
  • Remove the baking sheets from the oven; coat baking sheets with cooking spray. Arrange the empanadas in a single layer on baking sheets. Coat the empanadas with cooking spray. Bake at 400°F for 8 minutes or until golden, turning once. Garnish with cilantro, if desired.

These empanadas were easy to make and turned out great! I used a gluten-free flour blend and they were still delicious.

The empanadas were delicious, but they were a bit too greasy. I would recommend draining the beef filling before assembling the empanadas.

The empanadas were delicious, but the crust was a bit dry. I would recommend brushing the crust with melted butter before baking.
