Semi Homemade Empanadas

Now my weekday schedules are changed, due to work. So I am always in hurry to make something fast and healthy and easy on weekdays. I make first kids so they can eat and go to sleep, Mine can wait since I eat once kids go to bed. But still its not like before when I used to make dinner in the afternoon and then have quality time with kids in the evening, but still I am enjoying my new schedule. So now when I am thinking about dinner ideas, it has to quick too. This is semi homemade because I used ready made biscuit from pillsbury instead of making dough and do it. But the best part was it was corn biscuits so it tasted awesome too. I shared it with my co worker who is from South America, and he appreciated very much , so felt good too. I used Mexican stuffing, you can use any meat and cheese, or even make it as baked samosa with the same biscuits.

Ingredients :

1 packet of Corn Biscuits from Pillsbury

For Stuffing :

1 each onion, capsicum, carrot, zucchini (chopped)
1/4 cup frozen or fresh corn (if using frozen , thaw first)
1/4 cup soya granules
1/4 cup black beans
2 tsp. Taco Seasoning
2 tsp. chopped garlic
1 jalapenos chopped
1 tsp. oil
salt to taste

Method:

Let's make stuffing first.
In a pan add oil , add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, then add jalapenos, cook for 30 seconds.
Add onion, carrot, corn, zucchini, capsicum, soya , black beans and mix it.
Add taco seasoning and salt and cook it for 5 minutes, you don't want to over cook veggies because it will cook later on in the oven also.
