Serves/Makes: 4
Ready in: 30-60 minutes

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 1 diced red bell pepper
  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco
  • 1/2 cup golden raisins
  • 3 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro
  • 1 package frozen pastry dough, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

In a large skillet, heat the oil, and saute the garlic and onion just until translucent (about 4 minutes). Add the bell pepper and cook until lightly browned. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring until the meat is browned.

Place the beef mixture in a large bowl and let cool for about 15 minutes. Add the raisins, queso fresco, and cilantro.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Cut the pastry into 3-inch circles on a well-floured surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture in the center of each circle and fold over. Seal the edges with the end of a fork. Brush the tops with the melted butter.

Bake the empanadas for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden and the pastry is flaky.
