How to Make Party Empanadas
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, brown the ground meat over medium-high heat. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the jalapeño (if using), cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute more.
- Add the diced tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Remove from heat and stir in the cheese.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the empanada dough. Cut out circles using a 4-5 inch cookie cutter or glass.
- Place a spoonful of the meat filling in the center of each dough circle.
- Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape, crimping the edges to seal.
- Brush the empanadas with the beaten egg wash.
- Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the filling is heated through.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
