To make Chorizo and Potato Empanadas, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 pound chorizo sausage, casing removed
- 2 cups diced potatoes
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 packages refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 egg, beaten

To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a large skillet, cook the chorizo over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Remove the chorizo from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the potatoes, onion, red and green bell peppers, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
Roll out the pie crusts on a floured surface and cut out circles using a biscuit cutter or a glass. Spoon a small amount of the potato mixture onto each circle, followed by a spoonful of the cooked chorizo. Fold the circles in half and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
Brush the empanadas with the beaten egg and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve hot and enjoy!
