Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cups Coconut flour
• 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Butter
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 0.5 cup Onion
• 2 large Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 serving Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, salt, and baking powder.

Step 3

Add in the egg, melted butter, and water to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms. If it's too sticky, add a little more almond flour.

Step 4

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 15 minutes.

Step 5

While the dough is chilling, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the diced onions and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent.

Step 6

Add ground beef to the pan and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.

Step 7

Season the beef with cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and let it cool slightly.

Step 8

Mix in the shredded cheddar cheese into the beef mixture.

Step 9

After the dough has chilled, divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten each into a small circle between two sheets of parchment paper.

Step 10

Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of each dough circle.

Step 11

Fold the dough over the filling to create a semi-circle. Seal the edges by crimping with a fork.

Step 12

Brush the empanadas with egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 13

Place empanadas on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 14

Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your keto classic empanadas!
