Mango Tango Empanadas

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe mangoes, diced
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 package of pre-made empanada dough
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the diced mango, sugar, lime juice, and cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Roll out the empanada dough and cut it into circles using a round cutter or a small plate.
  4. Place a spoonful of the mango filling in the center of each dough circle.
  5. Moisten the edges of the dough with water, then fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges to seal the empanadas.
  6. Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the empanadas are golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
