Content: Then add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, about 10 minutes. Drain off any excess fat and oil. Stir in tomato sauce, cumin, cayenne, garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Lower heat to medium-low and simmer until mixture thickens, about 15 minutes. Remove and set aside until cool enough to handle. If the mixture is too hot it can cause holes in the dough during preparation. Spoon about 2 heaping tablespoons of meat mixture into the middle of the empanada wrapper, fold in half to form a half-moon; moisten the edges with water and pinch to seal or crimp edges with a fork. With a pastry brush, lightly brush egg wash over the top side of the empanada dough. ( This encourages browning.)
