Empanadas
1 to 2 jalapenos, stemmed
1 onion, quartered
3 garlic cloves
1 handful cilantro, coarsely chopped
1 lime
salt
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 C grated cheese
1 can biscuits ( I use Grands since they’re bigger)
1 jar salsa (the best for this is a black bean and corn salsa)
1 egg
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add jalapeno, onion, and garlic. Simmer for 10-15 mins until soft. Drain and let cool slightly to handle. Combine jalapeno, onion, garlic, cilantro, and lime in food processor of blender. Season with salt.
Combine shredded chicken w/ vegetable mix in large bowl w/ salsa. Roll out biscuits and brush the rim of each w/ egg wash. Stuff each w/ mixture and top w/ cheese then bake biscuits as directed on can. Once they are done baking, let them cool on a wire rack so they don’t get soggy.
