Chicken and black bean empanadas image

This is a new recipe I saw on tv, and adapted it to suit my tastes and that of my husband. The original recipe was done with turkey.

Categories     Poultry Appetizers

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2-3 c shredded turkey
1 can(s) black beans (15oz) drained
1/2 c shredded pepper jack or monteray jack cheese
1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 c prepared salsa
2 Tbsp ro-tel diced tomatoes & green chilies
1 tsp ground cumin
2 (9 inch) refrigerated pie crusts
1 egg, beaten with water if desired for egg wash

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • 2. In a large bowl combine chicken, both cheeses, salsa, diced tomatoes, and cumin. Mix well to combine.
  • 3. Unroll pie crusts onto a flat surface, and using a 4 inch cutter cut out 6 circles.
  • 4. Divide chicken mixture into equal portions and place each portion on top of the pie crusts. Fold crusts over and pinch the edges together to seal. Using a fork crimp the edges of the pinched crusts to make hash marks to make sure they are sealed.
  • 5. Put empanadas on a baking sheet, and using a knife make a couple small slits in the top of them to allow steam to escape while they cook.
  • 6. (if desired) Brush with egg wash and place into preheated oven, baking for 15 minutes or until crust is a golden brown. May be served with sour cream or salsa.

I'm not usually a fan of empanadas, but these were really good! The filling was flavorful and the dough was flaky.

These empanadas were a great way to use up leftover chicken and black beans. They were also really easy to make.

These empanadas were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my empanadas turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

These empanadas were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try baking them instead of frying them next time.

The dough for these empanadas was a bit too thick for my liking. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These empanadas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

These empanadas were a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also added some chopped vegetables to the filling to make them even healthier.
