Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Peel and dice the mango into small pieces.

In a bowl, combine diced mango, coconut, sugar, lime juice, and cinnamon; mix well.

In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the flour mixture; mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness and cut into circles.

Place a spoonful of the mango-coconut filling in the center of each circle.

Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and press the edges to seal.

Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
