- Add the crumbled tofu to the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until heated through. Add the plantains and gently mix in. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the filling into the center of each pot pie crust.
- Fold the pie dough in half to form a half-moon and gently seal the edges with your fingers. Then twist and fold the edges of the empanadas with your fingers.
