Cut up some onion, garlic, and bell pepper and add them to the pan

Cook the vegetables until they get soft

Add chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper and mix well

Go on and cook for two more minutes

Make a circle out of the empanada dough by rolling it out

On each circle of dough, put a spoonful of the beef mixture

To seal, fold the edges over and crimp them with a fork

If you want your empanadas to turn golden, brush them with beaten egg

After the oven is hot, bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy

Make the black bean dipping sauce at the same time

Add salsa, sour cream, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt to a small saucepan

Mash the black beans and mix them in

Warm up on low heat

Warm up the empanadas and serve them with the black bean sauce
