Beef Empanadas

Ingredients


  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 large onion, finely chopped
  • 3 hard-boiled large eggs, chopped
  • 1/3 cup chopped green olives
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 packages (14 ounces each) frozen empanada dough disks, thawed
  •  Salsa verde, optional

Description

  1. Preheat oven to 400°. In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until beef is no longer pink and onion is tender, 6-8 minutes, breaking up beef into crumbles; do not drain. Stir in hard-boiled eggs, olives and seasonings; heat through. Remove from the heat.
  2. Brush beaten egg over edges of dough circles. Place 3 tablespoons filling on 1 side of each. Fold dough over filling. Crimp edges and press to seal. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets. Brush tops with remaining beaten egg. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  3. Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes; serve warm, with salsa verde if desired.
