Air Fryer Cuban Empanadas | Easy & Crispy Recipe - Empanadas Rápidas en la Freidora de Aire

Defrost empanada discs in the microwave using the one pound defrost setting for about 2 minutes.

Use a rolling pin to slightly stretch the empanada discs.

Add filling (picadillo and cheese) to the center of each disc, being careful not to overfill.

Seal the edges of the empanadas with a fork on both sides.

Prepare an egg wash by mixing one egg and brush it over the empanadas for a shiny finish.

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.

Place the empanadas in the air fryer and cook for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through.

Check the empanadas after 10 minutes to ensure they are not burning and adjust cooking time as necessary.
