Empanaditas
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Filling
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Stir in cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until well combined. Remove from heat and let cool.

Assemble the Empanaditas
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Take an empanada dough disc and place a tablespoon of the beef filling in the center. Fold the disc in half and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch. Repeat with remaining discs and filling.

Bake the Empanaditas
Place the empanaditas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with a little olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
