1/4 cup <u>each</u> chopped onion s and green peppers

3 slices OSCAR MAYER Smoked Ham , finely chopped

2 Tbsp. KRAFT Zesty Italian Dressing

2 Tbsp. tomato sauce

2 cloves garlic , minced

1 cup oil

1. Prepare Empanada Dough. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap; set aside while preparing empanada filling.
