Number Of Ingredients 12

1 Empanada Dough
1 tsp. paprika, divided
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 cup KRAFT Zesty Italian Dressing
1 lb. lean ground beef
1/4 cup raisins
2 Tbsp. chopped green olives
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded, chopped
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 cup KRAFT Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1 hard-cooked egg, chopped
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Prepare Empanada Dough as directed, adding 1/2 tsp. paprika to flour mixture before cutting in lard; set aside.
  • Cook and stir onions in dressing in medium skillet on medium heat 5 min. or until onions are tender. Add meat, raisins, olives, peppers, cumin and remaining paprika; mix well. Cook and stir 12 min. or until meat is browned and most the liquid is cooked off. Cool completely.

Spoon about 1/4 cup onto center of each round. Brush edges evenly with half the beaten egg; fold in half. Seal edges with fork. Place on parchment-covered baking sheet. Brush with remaining beaten egg.
  • Bake 15 min. or until golden brown.
