This a great recipe!! I did use the cheat of buying the premade empanada discs.

Thanks so much for the recipe! Liked that it was mainly tasty beef and cheese - even my picky eater at home enjoyed these! Never thought I'd be able to make empanadas from scratch :) Didn't have tomato paste but I added a bit more oregano and garlic powder to taste. Soo delicious!

Never made dough from scratch but it was super easy. I forgot the cheese ( I know how does someone forget the cheese) but added it on top before the oven. Came out very tasty

This was the worse online recipe ive ever used. The dough was soup. I had to add 5 more cups of flour. 

I had just enough butter or I would have thrown it away and looked for anither recipe.

these were good, just tasted like an italian dish rather than latin

These where so good! I was out of oregano but I used dried parsley and they were still great!!! I also added some chili powder to my meat.

I used a 3-inch biscuit cutter so there wasn't much room for filling.  Next time I will cut the circles much bigger so I can have more filling.  The filling was good, we just wanted more.  I also cut the jalapenos to 1/4 cup to cut down on the spiciness.

Cheesy Beef Empanadas Are The Greatest Handheld Food

375 g plain flour,

salt

g butter,

garlic, crushed

beef mince

Salt

100 g chopped tomatoes

g Cheddar

g Monterey Jack

coriander,

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder. Cut butter into flour using your hands or a pastry cutter until pea-sized. Add water and egg and mix until a dough forms. Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes.&nbsp;

Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.&nbsp;

Make Dough

Preheat oven to 200°C (180ºC fan) and line two large baking trays with parchment paper.

In a large pan over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes, then add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more. Add beef and cook, breaking meat up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 5 minutes. Drain fat.

Return pan to medium heat, and stir tomato paste into beef. Add oregano, cumin, and paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Add tomatoes and jalapeños and cook until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Place dough on a lightly floured surface and divide in half.&nbsp; Roll one half out to half centimetre&nbsp;thick. Using an 11cm round cookie cutter, cut out rounds. Repeat with remaining dough. Reroll scraps once to cut out more rounds.&nbsp;

Lightly moisten outer edge of a dough round with water and place about 2 tablespoons filling in centre and top with cheddar and Monterey. Fold dough in half over filling. Use a fork to crimp edges together. Repeat with remaining filling and dough.&nbsp;

Place empanadas on prepared baking trays and brush with egg wash. Bake until golden and filling is warmed through, about 25 minutes.&nbsp;

Garnish with coriander and serve with sour cream.
