Ingredients

1/2 lb ground pork
5 oz fresh chorizo
1/2 cup onion, diced
1/2 cup green pepper, diced
1/2 cup canned black bean, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup corn kernels, drained
2 tablespoons El Yucateco Chile Habanero Hot Sauce (or any other hot sauce)
24 wonton wrappers

Instructions

Brown ground pork and chorizo in a large skillet over medium-high heat until thoroughly cooked, stirring frequently, about 3-5 minutes. Add onion, garlic, green peppers, black beans, corn, and hot sauce; cook for 3 – 5 minutes. Remove the mixture from the skillet and drain a few seconds on paper towels to remove excess fat.
Preheat oven to 400º F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with oil. Set aside.
Lightly brush edges of one wrapper with water. Place 1 heaping teaspoon of pork-chorizo mixture in center of a wrapper. Fold dough over filling, pressing edges with a fork to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and pork-chorizo mixture.
Arrange empanadas on the prepared baking sheet. Spray tops of empanadas with oil. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes on top rack of oven until crisp and lightly brown.
Serve immediately with more hot sauce, if desired.
