- 1 onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup beef broth

- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 12 empanada discs (store-bought)
Steps
- Brown ground beef in a skillet. Drain excess fat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened.
- Stir in beef broth, cumin, and paprika. Simmer until liquid is mostly absorbed. Season with salt and pepper; let cool.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place a spoonful of beef filling on one half of each empanada disc.
