How To Make chicken and black bean empanadas

• Step 1
  Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Step 2
  In a large bowl combine chicken, both cheeses, salsa, diced tomatoes, and cumin. Mix well to combine.
• Step 3
  Unroll pie crusts onto a flat surface, and using a 4 inch cutter cut out 6 circles.
• Step 4
  Divide chicken mixture into equal portions and place each portion on top of the pie crusts. Fold crusts over and pinch the edges together to seal. Using a fork crimp the edges of the pinched crusts to make hash marks to make sure they are sealed.
• Step 5
  Put empanadas on a baking sheet, and using a knife make a couple small slits in the top of them to allow steam to escape while they cook.
• Step 6
  (if desired) Brush with egg wash and place into preheated oven, baking for 15 minutes or until crust is a golden brown. May be served with sour cream or salsa.
