These were a hit at my office celebration of Cinco de Mayo. I baked them instead of frying. I also added in an extra jalapeno and a few small sweet peppers. The pie crust worked perfectly, just make sure you roll it out nice and thin. I got about 14 empanadas out of each pie crust using a 3 inch cookie cutter. Baked at 400 for about 12 minutes on middle rack. They were DELICIOUS!

It still gets a 5 even though I thought by using the pie crust was too sweet and it did fall apart easy. They were still oh soo good. The next day I made my own dough that was much better, however next time I will try the bisquit dough to see how that works out.

Excellent filling. There was some lefover so I added cooked noodles and made a casserole out of it. My family loved it.

What a party treat - they were all gone. I used a shredded mexican cheese blend and it was great. The pie crusts worked fine for me - I used the Pilsbury roll pie crusts, just let them warm up a bit after you take them out of the fridge so that they are more pliable. Using both pie crusts I got a yield of 27 empanadas with plenty of filling left over (I may have used more chicken than necessary - I just cooked up 5 chicken breasts. I did find though that shredding the chicken or chopping it pretty fine works better so that larger pieces of chicken don't tear the crust when sealing. These also cook up well if you don't have a deep fryer - I improvised with a sautee pan with about an 1" of oil.

Haven't made this yet, but here's a helpful hint...Goya makes pre-made empanada discs, they are found in the frozen ethnic food section of most supermarkets. These eliminate the hassle of re-rolling the pie dough. They're about $1.39 for a pack of 10

Made these for the superbowl and they
were absolutely awful. They fell apart
in the deep fryer. Then baked the rest
and they, too, fell apart.
If biscuits were supposed to be used, then it should have said so in the recipe. Pie crust is definetly not the way to go.
