I’ve used frozen empanada wrappers for this recipe and it’s been so easy! These are impressive to bring to a pot luck!

Family favorite recipe! I use Goya empanada dough. After brushing the dough with egg, I sprinkle cumin powder on the top for extra flavor. I serve them with rice, beans, and queso for a meal or bring them to a gathering as an appetizer.
