2 Eggs
500 gGround beef
1 Onions
Sour cream
115 gButter
290 gShredded cheese
2 tbspFresh cilantro
2 clovesGarlic
1 tspOregano
1 tspCumin
.5 tspPaprika
60 gCanned jalapenos
360 gFlour
100 gChopped tomatoes
1 tspBaking powder
1 tbspOlive oil
1 tbspTomato paste
  1. In a large bowl, make the dough by whisking together flour and even parts salt and baking powder. Cut the butter into flour using your hands or a pastry cutter until pea-sized. Add 175ml of water and 1 egg and mix until a dough forms. Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  2. Preheat oven to 200°C and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes, then add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more. Add ground beef and cook, breaking meat up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 5 minutes. Drain fat.
  3. Return pan to medium heat, and stir tomato paste into beef. Add oregano, cumin, and paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Add tomatoes and jalapeños and cook until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and divide in half. Roll one half out to ¼” thick. Using a 4.5” round cookie cutter, cut out rounds. Repeat with remaining dough. Reroll scraps once to cut out more rounds.
  5. Lightly moisten outer edge of a dough round with water and place about 2 tablespoons filling in center and top with shredded cheese. Fold dough in half over filling. Use a fork to crimp edges together. Repeat with remaining filling and dough.
  6. Make the egg wash by beating 1 egg together with 1 tablespoon of water, milk, or cream. Place empanadas on prepared baking sheets and brush with egg wash. Bake until golden and filling is warmed through, about 25 minutes.
  7. Garnish with cilantro and serve with sour cream.
