Beef Empanada Recipe

• porții: 4 servings
• timp total: 30 minutes

Ingrediente

1/2 pound ground beef

1/4 onion (diced)

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon chili powder (or chipotle chili powder)

1/2 teaspoon salt

4 ounces diced green chiles

4 ounces diced pimento peppers

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend)

2 refrigerated pie crusts

1 egg (whisked)

HERDEZ™ Traditional Guacamole (for serving)

Instrucțiuni

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!
