Banana Black Bean Empanadas

"Great little finger food appetizer. REALLY good with your favorite brand of sweet chili sauce for dipping. My sister made it for a new years party she had and everyone loved these. She found this recipe off of another recipe website, but I wanted to put it on here because I use recipezaar...not the competing website for recipes!"

directions

  • Heat oil in heavy medium skillet over high heat. Add banana and saute until golden, about 1.5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer banana to paper towels to drain. Add onion to skillet, saute for 3 minutes. Add beans, cilantro, cumin and cayenne; cook until mixture is hot, about 3 minutes. Using back of fork, mash bean filling to coarse paste; season with salt and cool.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Roll out each puff pastry sheet on floured surface to 14" square. Cut each into 9 squares. Place 1 heaping tablespoon of bean filling in center of squares. Sprinkle each mound of filling with cheese, then top with bananas, dividing equally.
  • Brush edges of squares with egg glaze. Fold 1 corner over filling to opposite corner, forming a triangle. Using fork, seal crust edges. Arrange on rimmed baking sheet that has been covered with a nonstick cooking spray. Brush tops with remaining egg glaze and bake until golden brown, about 12-15 minutes. Serve hot!
