In a skillet, cook ground beef and chopped onions until browned. Drain excess fat.

Step 4

Add chopped hard-boiled eggs, sliced olives, raisins, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to the beef mixture. Mix well and let it cool.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

Roll out the chilled dough and cut circles.

Step 7

Spoon the beef filling onto each dough circle. Fold in half and crimp the edges to seal.

Step 8

Place empanadas on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
