Baked Empanadas

The shells for this main course call for refrigerated pie crust,
two boxes, which are folded into pockets.
If you don't have refrigerated pie crust in your freezer
here is a fast and simple recipe for pie crust which I used today.

4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
2/3 cup milk
1 1/3 cup Vegetable oil

Mix and form into ball.


***Empanadas Recipe***

Ingredients:

1 package (5.6 or 6.8 ounces) Spanish rice and pasta mix, fully cooked
1 12.5 oz can of chuck chicken breast, drained.
1 10 oz can of Rotel, drained.
1 15.25 oz can of corn, drained.
2 cups of cheddar cheese

Mix the cooked rice and everything else in bowl.

Roll out dough and cut 6 inch circle out until you run out of dough.

Place about a spoon full of chicken/rice mix in center of each pastry.
Fold over and use fork to close the edges of pastry.

Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
