Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup green olives, sliced
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 12 empanada discs (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions:
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the onion, garlic, and red bell pepper, and cook until the vegetables are softened.
- Stir in the cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the olives, raisins, parsley, and hard-boiled eggs. Mix well to combine.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
