Time 1h45m

Yield 16 servings, 2 empanadas each

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups flour
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, cubed
1 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 lb. lean ground beef
1/2 cup frozen corn
1/2 cup rinsed canned black beans
3/4 cup TACO BELL® Thick & Chunky Medium Salsa, divided
1 cup KRAFT Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese with Jalapeno Peppers
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream

Steps:

  • Process flour, cream cheese and butter in food processor until ingredients are well blended and mixture forms dough that pulls away from side of container.
  • Place dough on work surface; divide in half. Shape each half into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, brown meat in large skillet on medium heat. Add corn, beans and 1/4 cup salsa; mix well. Cook 5 min., stirring occasionally. Add cheese; cook and stir 2 to 3 min. or until melted. Cool completely.
  • Heat oven to 425°F. Roll out half the dough into 1/8-inch-thickness on lightly floured surface. Cut into 16 rounds with 4-inch biscuit cutter, rerolling scraps as necessary; place on parchment-covered baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough and second prepared baking sheet.
  • Spoon 1 Tbsp. meat mixture onto center of each dough round; brush edge of dough lightly with some of the egg. Hold 1 dough round in palm of hand; compress filling with index finger, then fold dough in half. Return to prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough rounds. Seal edges with fork; brush tops with remaining egg.
  • Bake 12 to 15 min. or until golden brown. Meanwhile, mix sour cream and remaining salsa until blended.
  • Serve empanadas with sour cream mixture.
