Content: Add the minced onion and saute until turning lightly golden, then add the lean ground beef and seasoning including salt, pepper, cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook until the ground beef is lightly browned and no longer pink inside. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the chilled empanada dough as thin as possible, at least ⅛ inch in thickness. Cut rounds that are about 6 inches in diameter (and I usually make mine a bit oval rather than round). If needed, you can re-roll the dough once and cut out more rounds. Portion out the meat mixture between your 6 cut out rounds, placing on one side of the dough and leaving a ½ inch border around the filling to seal the empanadas. Fold the dough over the meat filling and crimp the edges together. You can also use a bit of water on the edges to help seal the edges. I used the tines of a fork to also crimp the rounded edge of the empanadas (as I did, and as seen in the photos).
