Baked Empanadas

these are really good quick pocket pies.

for the empanadas:
1 pre made pie crust
1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup guimi sauce (listed below)
4 oz creamy goat cheese
1 Tbs minced garlic
1/2 Tbs chipotle pepper
1 Tbs fajita seasoning
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1tsp granulated garlic

in a large pan brown the meat with the garlic, chipotle, fajita, paprika,cumin, salt, black pepper, and the granulated garlic. put the meat in a bowl and let cool. if you have a pocket pie former great, if not hands work well. in some of the prepared dough add the goat cheese, guimi sauce, and a good amount of the beef, then close the pocket and cut vent holes in the top. set the oven to 450 degrees, and cook the pocket with a small amount of olive oil on the top. cook them until they are golden brown.

these are great party foods, and fun lunch foods for a kid's lunch, most empanadas are deep fried but i like how the baking tastes on these.
