Beef Empanada Recipe

beef

onion (diced)

cumin

chili powder (or chipotle chili powder)

salt

green chiles

pimento peppers

tomato paste

cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend)

refrigerated pie crusts

egg (whisked)

HERDEZ™ Traditional Guacamole (for serving)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or parchment paper.

Unroll pie crusts on a clean, flat surface. Use a 3-inch round pastry cutter to cut circles from the dough. (If desired, combine scraps, roll out, and cut again.)

In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef.

Stir in onions, cumin, chili powder, salt, green chiles, and pimento peppers. Saute 2-3 minutes.

Stir in tomato paste, followed by the cheese. Remove from heat.

Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture into the center of each pie crust circle.

Fold dough over and use a fork to seal the dough all along the curved edge.

Arrange in a single layer, not touching, on prepared baking sheet. Brush empanadas with egg wash.

Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Allow to cool slightly before serving with HERDEZ™ Traditional Guacamole. Enjoy!
