Empanadas are basically turnovers with a yummy Mexican filling. There are two ways to do this:
fast and convenient, or make it yourself. I did make it yourself and honestly it was about an hour and a half of cooking. Not so great after work. So first I will post the fast and convenient recipe:
2 ready made pie crusts
1 pkg. spanish rice, cooked
2 chicken breasts, cooked and diced
1 c. grated cheese
1 T. cilantro
Roll out pie crusts into two circles. Combine chicken, rice cheese and cilantro. Put 1/2 of this mixture on each pie crust. Fold over dough to cover like a giant turnover. Roll or pinch edges together to seal. Bake at 4oo for 25 minutes. Serve with salsa and sour cream.
