Instrucciones

Cook garlic, onion, diced pepper and ground beef in a large skillet using medium heat, stirring occasionally for 8 to 10 minutes until beef is browned and completely cooked. Drain if necessary.

Add salsa, chili powder and cumin; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in olives and raisins. Season to taste and cool completely.

Cut each pie shell in half to make main course empanadas. Form each of the 8 pastry pieces into a ball; roll out each into a 7-inch (18 cm) round. Use 1/2 cup (125 mL) ground beef mixture for each empanada. Moisten pastry edges with water; fold over and seal with fork. Place empanadas on parchment paper or foil-lined baking sheet; prick and brush each with beaten egg. Bake in 425°F (220°C) oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
