EMPANADAS con ACHIOTE

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tsp achiote powder
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup warm water

Filling
1 lb browned ground beef or cooked shredded chicken
1/2 medium onion, diced
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1/8 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/8 cup sliced green olives
1 pinch salt and pepper
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package sazon goya with coriander and annatto

For cooking
1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

DOUGH:
combine all the dry ingredients in electric mixer, add all the wet ingredients. Mix for about 3 minutes until well combined. Dough will form.

Take it out and knead for about 3 minutes, let sit wrapped in plastic-wrap for another 15 minutes.

Divide into 12 pieces, then roll into 4 inch circles.

FILLING:
Brown ground beef (drain excess grease), or sautee shredded chicken in 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add all the ingredients and cook for an additional 10 minutes stirring occasionally. Let cool.

COOKING:
Pre-heat the oil in a frying pan at about a medium temperature. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the dough and seal the edges with a fork.

Fry for about 5 minutes on each side, then place on dish lined with paper-towels.
