Cook ground meat in a skillet until cooked.
Add taco seasoning, cornstarch and water; simmer until sauce is thick.
In a small bowl, mix flour and water to create the "glue" that will seal tortillas together.
Briefly microwave tortillas to make them soft and pliable; around 10 seconds.
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.
Prepare all tortillas. Heat a skillet on medium heat, add oil and place empanadas to cook on each side until golden and crispy.
Alternatively, you can bake your empanadas at 375 degrees F until golden, turning after 5 minutes.
