Steps:
- 1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, about 10 minutes.
- 2. Add onions, and cook 5 minutes more. Stir in tomato sauce, olives, Sofrito, Sazon, garlic, oregano, and black pepper. Lower heat to medium-low, and simmer until mixture thickens, about 15 minutes.
- 3. On a lightly floured work surface, using a rolling pin, roll out discos until 1/2-inch larger in diameter. Spoon about 1 tbsp. meat mixture into middle, moisten edges with water, fold in half to form a half moon, and seal closed with a fork.
- 4. Place empanadas on a non-stick cookie sheet, brush with egg wash, and bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. (the empanadas can also be deep fried in oil for 4-6 minutes, flipping once, until crisp and golden brown, drained on paper towels before serving.)
