Ingredients

• ✓ empanada wrapper
• tomato
• onion
• cilantro
• jalapeno pepper
• garlic salt
• ground beef
• water
• taco seasoning mix
• pepper jack cheese
• egg
• water

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2 Mix together tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeño pepper, and garlic salt in a large bowl until well combined. Set aside.
3. 3 Heat a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot pan until crumbly and no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain fat and return beef to the pan.
4. 4 Stir water and taco seasoning into beef; cook until fully incorporated and water has been absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in tomato mixture and pepper Jack cheese until well combined.
5. 5 Lightly flour a work surface. Roll each empanada wrapper out to a 6-inch circle. Scoop 1/3 cup beef filling onto the center of each wrapper. Fold each wrapper in half to enclose beef filling. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Pierce the top of each pie twice with a fork. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
6. 6 Make egg wash: Whisk together egg and water in a small bowl until well combined. Brush over the tops of pies.
7. 7 Bake on the middle rack in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Ingredients

• ✓ empanada wrapper
• oil
• bay leaf
• cumin
• paprika
• parsley
• oregano
• garlic
• olive oil
• chicken bouillon granules
• red bell pepper
• onion
• pear
• zucchini
• sweet potato
• tomato
• corn
• beef

Instructions

1. 1 Combine beef, undrained corn, tomatoes, sweet potato, zucchini, pear, onion, bell pepper, chicken bouillon, olive oil, garlic, oregano, parsley, paprika, cumin, and bay leaves in a slow cooker. Cook on High until beef is tender and vegetables are soft, 4 to 6 hours.
2. 2 Drain liquid and allow filling to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Discard bay leaves.
3. 3 Scoop 3 tablespoons of cooled filling into the center of an empanada wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half and press the edges together to enclose the filling. Seal by crimping the edges or pressing them together with a fork. Repeat until all empanada wrappers are filled.
4. 4 Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Without overcrowding, lower empanadas in batches into the hot oil and fry until golden, about 5 minutes, turning halfway through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain while you cook remaining batches.
