 10 Sonora Soft Taco Tortillas
 2 lbs ground beef or pork, chicken or turkey if preferred
 1 tbsp taco seasoning
 ⅓ cup water for taco seasoning
 1 tbsp corn starch
 3 tbsp flour
 3 tbsp waterfor tortilla "glue"
1

Cook ground meat in a skillet until cooked.

2

Add taco seasoning, cornstarch and water; simmer until sauce is thick.

3

In a small bowl, mix flour and water to create the "glue" that will seal tortillas together.

4

Briefly microwave tortillas to make them soft and pliable; around 10 seconds.

5

Take a spoonful of "glue" and place it around the edge of the tortilla, fill it with meat (careful not to overfill!), fold it and press seam closed. Use a fork to press seam around edges until closed.

6

Prepare all tortillas. Heat a skillet on medium heat, add oil and place empanadas to cook on each side until golden and crispy.

7

Alternatively, you can bake your empanadas at 375 degrees F until golden, turning after 5 minutes.
