Easy Empanada Samosas
- 2 potatoes
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 tablespoon sazon seasoning with achiote
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro, or to taste
- 1 (8 ounce) can peas, drained
- 1/3 cup raisins
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
- 2 (14 ounce) packages empanada pastry discs
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or more as needed
- Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, reserving some cooking water. Let cool until safe to handle, at least 10 minutes.
- Peel and cube potatoes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chicken in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with sazon and salt. Add green onions and cilantro. Cook until most of the liquid evaporates, 2 to 3 minutes. Add potatoes, peas, a little potato water, raisins, curry, cumin, garlic powder, and turmeric. Cook until raisins are plump, 2 to 5 minutes more.
- Let filling mixture cool before you shape empanadas.
- Place a spoonful of filling in the center of an empanada disc. Fold in two sides to make a cone; fold third side over the opening. Press seams together. Repeat with remaining filling and discs.
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook empanadas in batches until well browned, flipping halfway, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining empanadas, adding more oil as needed.
