1 hr 15 min
45 min prep
30 min cook

Serves 16

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp Garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 2 cups Unbleached all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1 Chipotle garlic salsa
  • 1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp Ground cumin
  • 1 No salt added black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 4 tbsp Water
  • 1/4 tsp Ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp Double acting baking powder
  • 1/2 cup Grapeseed oil
  • 1 Plant based protein crumbles
  • 1/2 cup Red onions, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray a large baking sheet lightly with cooking oil.
  2. Heat a large skillet over Medium-High heat. Add olive oil, onion and garlic to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until onions and garlic are soft.
  3. Add Lightlife® Smart Ground Original Crumbles to cooked onion and garlic. Stir to heat thoroughly, another 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add Salsa, beans and black pepper to pan and stir to heat thoroughly another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat, stir through cilantro and let cool while preparing dough.
  5. To make Empanada dough: Combine flour, salt, cumin and baking powder in a large bowl. Drizzle grapeseed oil slowly into flour mixture, mixing it in as you add it. Gradually spoon in cold water, adding enough to allow you to form dough into a ball.
  6. Form dough into a ball and cut into 4 equal pieces. Roll out flat, about the same thickness as a pie crust. Using a large cookie cutter, cut into circles.
  7. Spoon filling on one side of the circle, leaving a 1/4-inch rim. Fold dough over and seal with fork by pinching dough firming together. Place on prepared baking tray. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  8. Bake empanadas for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.
