1 can of biscuits (the small, cheap kind...not the big buttermilk ones)
1 pound of ground beef
1-2 tsp. minced garlic
1/4 tsp. onion powder
Salt and Pepper
1/2 cup shredded cheese
1/4-1/2 cup salsa
Vegetable Oil for frying
Directions
Brown the ground beef. Season with onion powder, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix in salsa and shredded cheese. Set aside.
Roll out each biscuit individually, as thin as you can possibly get it without the dough tearing. Place a spoonfull of the meat mixture onto half of each biscuit, and fold the other half over the top, pinching the edges with a fork.
Heat the oil. I like to use my electric skillet for this. It allows for more even temperature (I set mine at 350 degrees), and the oil doesn't get too hot, so no smoke. If your oil is smoking, its too hot. Add the empanadas to the oil, cooking in batches if you have to, about 2-3 minutes per side until brown and slightly crispy on both sides. Dip in salsa, sour cream, queso...whatever you wish!
