Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add 1 diced onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Add 1 lb ground beef and 1 tsp cumin. Cook, breaking up meat, until browned and no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Season with 1/2 tsp salt. Let cool slightly.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 400°F. Place 8 empanada discs on a work surface. Spoon about 2 tbsp filling onto each. Fold and press edges with a fork to seal.
Step 4
Brush empanadas with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes.
Step 5
Mash 2 avocados with juice of 1 lime and 1/2 tsp salt. Serve empanadas warm with guacamole.
