Instructions

Step 1

Place your frying pan on medium heat. Drizzle in your oil, then add in your garlic, red onion, red pepper, salt, and pepper. Fry for 5 minutes, then add in your beef mince and the rest of your seasonings. Once your beef mince is cooked, add in your peas. Fry for a further 3 minutes then turn off the heat and set aside (give the mixture a taste and season accordingly).

Step 2

Remove your shortcrust pastry from its packaging and use a large pastry cutter to cut out pastry wrappers. Make sure to use all of the pastry.

Step 3

Get one of your wrappers and place a spoonful of cheese onto one side. Top with two spoonfuls of your beef mixture. Fold the wrapper over into a semi-circle and seal it with your fingers. Pleat along the edge of the half-moon empanada to make it look pretty (see video on Instagram for more help!). Repeat this step for all of the empanadas.

Step 4

Place your empanadas in the air fryer for 15 minutes at 180C. Serve up with some guacamole and enjoy!
