Allrecipes.com has several recipes for empanadas.  Many of these recipes use puff pastry which you can get at the grocery store.  If it is not in your grocery store, or you would like an easier dough, try using biscuit dough!  You can make the biscuits from scratch or you can use a biscuit mix or canned biscuits.
