Instructions
Empanadas:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a large skillet heat oil over medium heat add onion and peppers and cook for about 2 minutes until translucent.
- Add the chorizo by crumbling it and cook the chorizo thoroughly for 10 minutes.
- Add the refried black bean. Combine the mixture and set aside.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon of water.
- Cut each puff pastry sheet into four 3-1/2-inch squares. Drop 1 rounded tablespoon of the mixture in the center of each pastry square. Top with a small piece of cheese.
- With a pastry brush, brush two adjoining edges of each square with the egg and fold the opposite corner over to form a triangle, sealing all the way around with your thumb. Press a fork down on the sealed edges at regular intervals to form small ridges. Transfer the empanadas to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
Corn Salsa:
- Over high heat, heat skillet, add olive oil and roast the corn for about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- In a mixing bowl combine all ingredients. Toss gently.
Notes
- For a hearty dinner top them with this corn salsa with green chile, and serve them with a side salad or rice.
