To make these Spicy Black Bean Empanadas, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1/2 cup corn kernels
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 egg, beaten
To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine the black beans, onion, red and green bell peppers, corn, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cilantro. Mix well to combine.
Next, roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut out circles from the dough. Spoon a small amount of the black bean mixture onto each circle, then fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape. Use a fork to crimp the edges of the empanadas closed.
Brush the beaten egg over the tops of the empanadas, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the empanadas are golden brown and crispy.
