INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 onion – diced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder – or chipotle chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces diced green chiles
  • 8 ounces diced pimento peppers

  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese – or Mexican blend
  • 4 refrigerated pie crusts

  • HERDEZ™ Traditional Guacamole – for serving

DIRECTIONS:

  • 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 4-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!
