Tofu can mimic the texture and add protein.

Put a little flour on the surface and on the rolling pin.

Flatten each biscuit out into a disc shape.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Fill the flattened biscuit with taco meat and cheese.

Fold the biscuit over to create a half-moon shape.

Use a little water to seal the edges of the biscuit.

Press down on the edges to ensure a good seal.

Use a fork to crimp the edges for extra sealing.

Place four empanadas on a baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes.
