I'm trying to get away from more and more processed foods, but so far there is one things that I haven't been able to give up: Grands Flaky Biscuits and Crescent Rolls. I know, they are processed, so not vegan, and not the healthiest thing you can eat. But I love empanadas and so far this is the easiest way I could think of to make something in that style that can be baked instead of fried.
Ingredients
- 1 Package Grands Flaky Biscuits
- 1/2 Trader Joe's Soy Chorizo
- Vegan Cheese
- Garlic Salt (optional)
Steps
- Remove the chorizo from it's casing and heat it up in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, using a wood spoon to break up the chorizo.
- Lay out the biscuits on a cookie sheet and use the heel of your palm to flatten them into circles.
- Place a spoonful of chorizo and a serving of cheese onto each circle.
- Fold the circle over to create a half moon shape.
- Seal the edges using your fingers and then use a fork to create an "empanada look" by pressing with the fork all around the edge.
- Top with a a few cheese shreds for garnish and sprinkle lightly with garlic salt.
- Bake according to directions or until empanadas are golden brown.
