Preheat oven to 400F.
Cook your sweet potato until soft, then mash it up in a bowl.
Add Greek yogurt and corn flour to the mashed sweet potato and mix until a dough forms.
Separate the dough into 6 evenly sized balls.
In a pan over medium heat, cook your ground beef with garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper until fully cooked.
While the beef cooks, rinse and drain your shredded cheese. This helps fat-free cheese melt better!
Take one of your dough balls and flatten it into a circle. Add ⅙ of the cooked beef and 1 oz of cheese to the center, then fold the dough over and seal the edges to form an empanada. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Place empanadas on a parchment-lined baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray.
Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Enjoy!
