Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound extra-lean ground beef
½ onion, diced
¼ cup tomato sauce
6 large pimento-stuffed olives, diced
2 tablespoons sofrito (such as Goya®)
1 (1.41 ounce) package sazon seasoning with coriander and achiote (such as Goya®)
2 small garlic cloves, minced and crushed
½ teaspoon oregano
2 (14 ounce) packages frozen empanada dough (such as Goya® discos)
vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add onion, tomato sauce, olives, sofrito, sazon, garlic, and oregano. Bring to a simmer and cook until mixture thickens, about 15 minutes.
Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon of meat mixture into the middle of a disco. Fold dough over, moisten edges, and press with a fork to seal. Repeat with remaining meat mixture and discos.
Pour oil into a saucepan and heat over medium-high heat. Fry pastelillos until golden brown and bubbly, about 3 minutes each. Drain on paper towels before serving.
