    How to Prepare Easy Beef-less Empanadas [Vegan]

    1. Heat oven to 400F.
    2. In a skillet over medium heat, add oil and onions. Cook until softened, about 5-8 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
    3. Add the frozen crumbles and cover 5 minutes until thawed. Stir in tomato sauce, olives, raisins, sofrito, sazon, and oregano. Cook over medium heat another 10 minutes, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool.
    4. On a floured surface, roll out puff pastry sheets. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out thin - about 1/16". Cut 3" rounds with a cutter or a martini glass.
    5. Place a tablespoon of filling on each round, and dab a little water around the edge. Fold in half and press closed with a fork. Stab a couple holes in the top for the steam to escape.
    6. Bake the filled pies 2" apart on baking sheets for about 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
    7. Serve plain, or with salsa, sour cream or guacamole.
