Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• In a bowl, mix the flour and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add water and mix until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Prepare the filling
• In a pan, heat olive oil and sauté the onions and bell pepper until soft.
• Add the tuna, paprika, and salt. Cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
• Roll out one dough half to fit a baking sheet. Spread the filling over the dough. Roll out the second half and place it over the filling. Seal the edges and make a few slits on top.
• Bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown.
• Let it cool before slicing and serving.

Tips

• Use a fork to seal the edges of the empanada for a decorative finish.
