These empanadas are packed with flavorful picadillo filling and are sure to be a hit at your next party! The dough is made from scratch and is nice and flaky. The filling is a mix of ground beef, onions, garlic, tomatoes, and spices. These empanadas are best served fresh out of the oven, but they can also be frozen and reheated.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a 12″ cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add cinnamon stick, onions, and peppers; cook, stirring, until vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Add half the ground cinnamon, oregano, cloves, and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it browns, 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; add raisins, olives, and tomatoes. Cook until liquid has evaporated, about 20 minutes. Stir in remainder of ground cinnamon, almonds, and vinegar.
  • Once done, let cool before you make your Empanadas.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Dust a wooden board with some flour and lay out a empanada disc onto it. Place about 2 heaping tablespoons of the meat mixture into the center of the disc. Carefully fold over to close to form half circles. With the tines of a fork, crimp the ends close as I have it in the picture. Lay out on a baking sheet lined with non stick foil. Brush the empanadas with the egg wash. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy!
