Easy Healthy Vegetable Empanadas

I had half a package of wonton wrappers to use up in the fridge. Wonton wrappers, by the way, are so much fun to use in unconventional ways. Homemade ravioli without making homemade pasta, for example. We mixed up a filling of black beans, white cheddar cubes, and corn and diced zucchini we had in freezer with a little cumin, salt and pepper. You could substitue any veggies you have on hand. Sweet potato, winter squash, mushrooms, and winter greens would all be delicious. 

Wet the edges of the wonton wrappers and twist the bottom edges over another wrapper placed on top. These little bundles are so much fun for kids to dip into guacamole. While these are not the typical buttery crust empanadas, they are much healthier and my girls liked the crisp chip-like texture. 

 Wouldn't these be cute for a party? You could make these a few hours in advance and refrigerate them until you're ready to eat. 

Recipe after the jump.
