Chicken sausage, black bean & goat cheese empanada
Chicken second courses

I started thinking on what I could make to fit this weeks challenge category. I remembered back to when I was at the University of Miami living among the vibrant, colorful and fun culture of Latin America. Sipping Cuban coffee in little Havana and munching on empanadas from various Latin American backgrounds. I dug up an empanada dough recipe that a friend of mine in Miami gave me, that his mother used. I decided to fill mine with my own creation of filling (ingredients I had on hand in the house!) rather then the traditional. But, that is what is so great about this hand held savory food, you can fill it with whatever your hearts desire! I also opted to bake rather then fry my empanadas as to keep the calories and fat a bit lower, and they were just as delicious!
