Canastitas Caprese (Open-faced Empanadas with Tomato, Basil and Mozzarella)

My Mexican heritage had me introducing some of the most delicious dishes possible!  The students loved these!  They are fairly easy to make, they all did a great job, and for most it was the first time using empanada shells : ).
ANOTHER FIVE INGREDIENT DISH!  Cherry tomatoes coming in from our student gardens, mozarella cheese, empanada shells, salt, and plenty of basil...from our garden!
