How to prepare it step by step?

Preparation

1. Finely chop the onion and fry it in a little olive oil until translucent and soft, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Add the drained tuna and fried tomato, mixing all the ingredients well to obtain a homogeneous filling.
3. Incorporate the chopped hard-boiled egg, season with salt and pepper to taste, and remove from heat.
4. Place a tablespoon of the filling on each empanadilla wafer, distributing it evenly.
5. Close the dumplings by folding the dough and sealing the edges with a fork to prevent them from opening during cooking.
6. Brush each dumpling with beaten egg for a shiny, golden finish.
7. Bake at 180°C for 15-20 minutes until golden and crispy, or fry in hot oil until uniformly golden in color.
8. Serve hot or warm, accompanied by salad, sauces, or a little lemon if desired.
