Baked Beef Empanadas

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound Laura's 92% Lean Ground Beef or 96% Lean Ground Round
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup canned low-salt yellow corn, drained
• 1/3 cup salsa
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 20 wonton wrappers
• Cooking spray
• Salsa, low-fat sour cream (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. Cook ground beef, onion and next 3 ingredients in a large nonstick skillet 5 minutes or until beef is browned; drain. Add corn and next 2 ingredients and cook until heated through. Remove and let cool.
3. Working with one wonton wrapper at a time, spoon 1 tablespoon beef mixture into center of each wrapper. Bring 2 opposite corners together and pinch the points to seal, forming a triangle. Place wrappers on a wire rack and repeat procedure with remaining wrappers and beef mixture.
4. Place empanadas on lightly greased baking sheets and coat lightly with cooking spray. Bake 4 to 6 minutes on each side, turning once or until golden. Serve with salsa and sour cream, if desired.
