Prepare the filling first to let it cool down.

Chop the ground beef finely and add achiote oil and salt to it.

Sauté the beef until it is well cooked and crumbly.

Add chopped onion, cumin, and black pepper to the beef and mix well.

Add finely chopped raw potatoes and a little salt, then add water to cook the potatoes until soft.

While the filling cooks, prepare the dough by mixing 1 cup of Doña arepa with 2 cups of hot water and salt.

Add garlic and achiote oil to the dough mixture and stir with a spoon while hot.

Add lime juice to the dough for crispiness.

Knead the dough until smooth and manageable, then let it cool.

Form small balls of dough and flatten them out.

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each disc and fold over to seal.

Ensure the edges are well sealed to prevent opening during cooking.

Cook the empanadas in the air fryer until golden brown, flipping halfway through.
