Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 6 to 8 tablespoons ice water
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Alright, let’s talk about how to bring these bad boys to life!
Instructions
- First, you gotta make that dough. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Next, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually stir in the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Wrap it up and chill it in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- While the dough is chillin’, it’s time to prepare the filling. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with chopped onion until the meat is browned and the onions are soft. Toss in the garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir that up and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, then set it aside to cool.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out that chilled dough on a floured surface until it’s about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out circles, roughly 4 inches in diameter.
- Pop a spoonful of your meat mixture onto one half of each dough circle. Fold the other half over and press the edges with a fork to seal ‘em tight.
- Place the empanadas on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for that golden look.
- Bake in the preheated oven for around 20-25 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and smelling divine. Don’t be surprised if the aroma draws everyone into the kitchen.
And there you have it! Your yummy Empanadas de Carne are ready to be devoured. Serve them up with some dipping sauce or just enjoy as is. Trust me, your taste buds are in for a treat!
