Before You Begin

You can store empanadas kept in an air tight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. To reheat, simply pop back in the air fryer at 350F for a few minutes until thoroughly reheated.

Instructions

In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef. When it’s halfway done cooking, add the pepper and onion. Cook for another 5 minutes.

Add the seasonings and cook one minute. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds. Remove from heat and let cool.

Preheat your air fryer to 400F.

n a large mixing bowl mix the Jiffy pie crust with water until it forms into a dough. Roll into a log and cut into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a disc about 1/8-inch thick. Fill half of the disc with the cooled filling, folding over the other side of the disc and sealing with a fork around the edge.

Spray your air fryer with non stick cooking spray. Spray the top of the empanadas and air fry for 8 minutes.
