This would work with ground beef too. We make biscuits for the picky eaters but if you don't want extra biscuits just cut the biscuit recipe in half.
Empanadas with Chili-cheese Sauce
Taco TVP filling
Mix and let sit:
2 cups TVP
2 cups boiling water
2 Tbs beef soup base powder
Sauté:
1 chopped onion
1 whole clove garlic peeled
When the onion is soft mash the garlic and add:
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp coriander
1/2 Tbs paprika
1/2 Tbs chili powder
When spices are well mixed and heated add the TVP. Simmer to reduce liquid.
Biscuit pastry
Mix well:
1 Tbs sugar
2 Tbs baking powder
5 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup margarine (6 oz)
Mix in until just mixed:
1 3/4 cups milk
Divide dough in half. Divide each half into 12 pieces. Make 12 plain biscuits. With other half roll each piece out into 5" circles. Place about 2 Tbs TVP on dough, fold over, roll up edge and seal with a fork. Any left over TVP is added to sauce. Cook on 2 large baking sheets.
Bake at 375º for 15 minutes.

left over TVP
