Number Of Ingredients 21

1 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 lb extra lean ground beef
1/4 bunch cilantro, minced
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 Tbsp tomato sauce
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tomato, diced
EMPANADA PASTRY
2 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp onion salt
2/3 c vegetable shortening (crisco)
1/2 c ice water
EGG GLAZE
1 beaten egg yolk
1 Tbsp water

Steps:

  • 1. To make dough: Mix all of the dough ingredients together until it forms into a dough. Set aside.
  • 2. Heat the oil in a medium-sized skillet; saute the chopped onion and minced garlic until they are soft.
  • 3. Break up the ground beef and add it to the pan; cook until the beef is no longer pink.
  • 4. Add all the remaining ingredients, except the tomato; cook for about 2 minutes longer and shut off the heat.
  • 5. Stir in the tomato and taste for seasonings; add more salt and pepper as desired.
  • 6. Adjust oven racks to positions #2 and #4; preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • 7. Roll out half of the dough on a lightly floured pastry board to 1/8" thickness.
  • 8. Cut with a 4" inch round cookie cutter which has been dipped in flour. Place a heaping spoonful of filling in the middle of each circle.
  • 9. Brush the rims of the dough circles with the egg glaze; fold half the doug over the filling and crimp the edges together with the tines of a fork.
  • 10. Place each empanada on a greased baking sheet and brush the tops with the egg glaze. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
