Number Of Ingredients 8

8 Mission® Carb Balance Soft Flour Tortillas
2 cups shredded chicken ((Rotisserie Chicken is ok to use.))
1 teaspoon Taco Seasoning
1 4-ounce can green chiles
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded Mexican Blend cheese (, divided)
1 egg
1 Tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, add two cups of shredded chicken. Sprinkle with taco seasoning and stir so chicken is evenly covered with taco seasoning.
  • In the bowl with the chicken, add the green chiles, sour cream, and ½ cup of shredded cheese.
  • Stir all ingredients together until all are evenly distributed.
  • In a small bowl, add one egg and a tablespoon water and stir.
  • Lay the flour tortillas out flat on the parchment paper on the sheet pan. (You may have to do this in 2 batches.)
  • Brush the edges of each tortilla with the egg wash.
  • Using an ice cream scooper or large spoon, spoon ¼ cup of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla.
  • Sprinkle 1 tablespoon shredded cheese over the top of the chicken on each tortilla. Repeat for each tortilla.
  • Fold the other half of the tortilla over the top of the chicken and cheese. Repeat for each empanada.
  • Brush each empanada with the egg wash.
  • Make 3 slits in the top of each empanada.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and serve hot.
