Let's Make It
1
Process flour, cream cheese and butter in food processor until ingredients are well blended and mixture forms dough that pulls away from side of container.
2
Place dough on work surface; divide in half. Shape each half into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour.
3
Meanwhile, brown meat in large skillet on medium heat. Add corn, beans and 1/4 cup salsa; mix well. Cook 5 min., stirring occasionally. Add cheese; cook and stir 2 to 3 min. or until melted. Cool completely.
4
Heat oven to 425°F. Roll out half the dough into 1/8-inch-thickness on lightly floured surface. Cut into 16 rounds with 4-inch biscuit cutter, rerolling scraps as necessary; place on parchment-covered baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough and second prepared baking sheet.
5
Spoon 1 Tbsp. meat mixture onto center of each dough round; brush edge of dough lightly with some of the egg. Hold 1 dough round in palm of hand; compress filling with index finger, then fold dough in half. Return to prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough rounds. Seal edges with fork; brush tops with remaining egg.
6
Bake 12 to 15 min. or until golden brown. Meanwhile, mix sour cream and remaining salsa until blended.
