Air Fryer Empanada

Instructions
Prep:15minCook:30min
Air fryer empanadas are the answer to empanada cravings, especially when you don’t have much time to prepare them. To make these empanadas you will need store bought shortcrust pastry, this will save you a lot of time, but if you prefer it you can make your own too. Then prepare a quick filling by frying onion, potatoes, peas, minced beef with Chipotle Paste, this quick Mexican picadillo is perfect for empanadas. Stretch the pastry dough, cut circles, add a spoonful of picadillo on each, seal the edges and that’s it! They are ready to go into the air fryer. Just remember for beautifully golden brown empanadas, brush them with an egg wash and cook them in the air fryer for 15 minutes. Other filling ideas: Creamy tomatillo chicken: fried onions, shredded chicken, add Gran Luchito Tomatillo Enchilada Sauce and spoonful of creme fraiche. Chipotle sweet potatoes: fry onions, garlic, diced sweet potatoes, spinach, season with Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste. Cheese and ham: fry onions, with a touch of Crunchy Salsa Macha, mix it with grated cheese and finely chopped ham. These empanadas are perfect for freezing and then pop them directly into the preheated air fryer at 200 ˚C for 15 minutes. Don’t forget to brush them with an egg wash before cooking them. A few things to remember when making empanadas on an air fryer: Preheat the air fryer. This will make cooking time much faster and you will achieve best results. Don’t overcrowd the air fryer. Place just enough empanadas to cook at one time, depending on the size of your tray, we recommend 2 or 3 empanadas at a time. Use egg wash. To achieve beautifully golden brown empanadas, whisk together an egg with a splash of milk then use it to brush your empanadas before you cook them. We recommend serving these empanadas with a side of Mexican Slaw or Chipotle Crema.
