Step 1

<p><strong>Empanadas:</strong> Preheat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.</p>

Step 2

<p>Heat oil in large skillet set over medium heat; cook ground beef, breaking up with wooden spoon, for 8 to 10 minutes or until evenly browned. Drain excess fat.</p>

Step 3

<p>Add potato, carrot, red pepper, onion, garlic, cumin, oregano, and Adobo to skillet; cook for 5 to 8 minutes or until onions are softened and mixture is very fragrant.</p>

Step 4

<p>Add beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan. Simmer for 5 to 8 minutes or until mixture is slightly thickened and potatoes are just tender. Stir in tomato sauce, olives, and raisins (if using); simmer for 3 to 5 minutes or until mixture is thickened.</p>

Step 5

<p>Divide beef mixture evenly among Empanada Dough-Puff Pastry for Baking. Using egg wash or water, moisten edges and fold over to seal. To make braided edges, fold over one corner to make small triangle; continue folding edges to make triangles along the seal. Once you reach the end, fold over the final end; press to seal edges. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.</p>

Step 6

<p>Whisk egg with 1 tsp water; brush evenly over empanadas. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until pastry is golden and flaky.</p>
