1/8 tsp ground cayenne pepper (, more or less depending on your spice level)

Напрямки

Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Prepare a baking tray with a silicone mat, parchment paper, or aluminum foil and set aside.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon or rubber spatula, about 10 minutes.

Add onions and peppers and cook until soft, about 5 minutes more.

Stir in tomato sauce (or ketchup ), cumin, cayenne, garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Lower heat to medium-low and simmer until mixture thickens, about 15 minutes. Taste and adjust spice level to your tastes.

Remove and set aside until cool enough to handle.

Spoon about 2 heaping tablespoons of meat mixture into the middle of the empanada wrapper, fold in half to form a half-moon; moisten the edges with water and pinch to seal or crimp edges with a fork.

With a pastry brush, lightly brush egg wash over the top side of the empanada dough. This encourages browning, but may be omitted for egg-free empanadas.

Place empanadas on a prepared sheet pan. Bake Empanadas until crisp and golden brown, about 20 to 30 minutes.
