Gluten Free Empanadas with Mexican Side Salad

Nirish loves just about any kind of Mexican food, and I love cooking it for him! Making this dish takes a little time since I have not been able to find gluten free empanada wrappers, and I have to start from scratch by making the pastry crust. That being said, I have made this pastry crust so often that it really doesn’t seem difficult for me. I have found gluten free pastry crust (or pie crust), but I have not tried it yet, so I don’t know how it is. I know how good mine is, so I just go with that! Actually making the empanada filling and salad is quite simple, and this meal is so delicious! Try it for yourself and let me know how it turns out for you!
