Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Sauté chorizo in 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up chunks with a spoon, until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer chorizo to a paper-towel-lined plate; set aside. Discard drippings.
Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in the same skillet over medium-high. Add onion and jalapeño and cook until softened, 3–5 minutes.
Stir in garlic and sauté 1 minute. Add chorizo, chipotle, cumin, and cinnamon. Off heat, add beans, scallions, raisins, and lime juice; season with salt and pepper.
Unroll 1 sheet of pie dough on a lightly-floured surface. Cut circles from dough with a 31/2-inch biscuit cutter; repeat with remaining 5 sheets of dough, rerolling scraps once. Arrange dough rounds on prepared baking sheets.
Spoon 1 Tbsp. filling into center of each round. Fold rounds in half, pinch to seal, and crimp edges with a fork.
Combine egg and water, then brush on empanadas, and sprinkle with smoked paprika. Bake the empanadas until golden, 15–18 minutes.
Serve empanadas with Roasted Garlic and Bacon Dip.
