PREPARATION

  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F.

  • 2

    In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped red bell pepper, sautéing until they soften, about 3 minutes.

  • 3

    Add the lean ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until the beef is browned throughout, approximately 5-7 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and season with salt and pepper, then remove the mixture from heat.

  • 4

    For the dough, combine whole wheat flour with a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Gradually add water (a few teaspoons at a time) and mix until the dough comes together into a ball. Let it rest for 10 minutes.

  • 5

    Divide the dough into small balls and roll each out on a lightly floured surface into circles about 4-5 inches in diameter.

  • 6

    Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and crimp the edges firmly with a fork to seal well.

  • 7

    Place the empanadas on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally, brush the tops with a little water or egg white for a shinier crust.

  • 8

    Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the dough is lightly golden and crispy.

  • 9

    Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your crispy baked lean beef empanadas!
