Directions:

• For the ground beef mixture: Place olive oil, carrots, onion and red bell pepper in a saucepan over medium low heat and stir. Cover and let cook for about 5 minutes or until the veggies begin to soften. Turn the heat up to medium and add the ground beef and garlic. Cook about another 5 minutes until beef browns. Add remaining ingredients and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for another 10 minutes to really let your flavors develop. Then, Remove from heat.
• Chipotle Dip: place chipotle, mayo, sour cream and lime juice in a blender and blend just until combined. Then, place in the fridge until your empanadas are ready.
• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
• Now, it's time to assemble your empanadas. Get out your empanada dough, cut into 8 equal pieces and roll out each piece into a circle. Scoop about 1 to 2 tablespoon of the meat mixture onto one side of your empanada. Repeat for all 8 empanadas. Then fold over the other side of the empanada and seal edge shut with a fork.
• Place empanadas on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper. Bake for about 15 minutes or until they begin to golden. Enjoy with your creamy chipotle aioli dip! YUMM.
