Roast Beef Empanadas - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups shedded roast beef
1 cup salsa
1/2 cup roasted red pepper, drained and chopped
1/2 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 teaspoon cumin
18 inches refrigerated pie crusts

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425\u00b0F Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the roast beef, cheeses, salsa, peppers, and cumin. Mix well.
Roll each pie crust into a 12 inch circle. Divide beef into four equal portions on top of one crust, placing a mound onto each of four quadrants. Top with second crust and use a pizza slicer to cut into four equal wedges. Pinch the edges together to seal and place on the prepared baking sheet. Use a fork to crimp the edges of the pastry. Make a couple small slits in the top of each pastry.
Bake for 15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown. Serve empanadas with sour cream and shredded lettuce if desired.
