Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or parchment paper.

Unroll pie crusts on a clean, flat surface. Use a 3-inch round pastry cutter to cut circles from the dough. (If desired, combine scraps, roll out, and cut again.)

In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef.

Stir in onions, cumin, chili powder, salt, green chiles, and pimento peppers. Saute 2-3 minutes.

Stir in tomato paste, followed by the cheese. Remove from heat.

Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture into the center of each pie crust circle.
Fold dough over and use a fork to seal the dough all along the curved edge.

Arrange in a single layer, not touching, on prepared baking sheet. Brush empanadas with egg wash.

Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Allow to cool slightly before serving with HERDEZ™ Traditional Guacamole. Enjoy!
