Instructions

Boil 4 ounces diced potato until they are fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large frying pan, saute ½ pound lean ground beef and ⅓ cup yellow onion, until the ground beef is evenly browned. To the pan, add ½ red bell pepper, and ⅓ cup frozen peas. Saute another 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Add in 2 cloves garlic,1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon chili powder, cooked potatoes, 1 tablespoon tomato paste, and ¼ cup beef broth. Stir to incorporate the spices and liquids well, and saute until the liquid has reduced. Remove the filling from the heat.
Roll the 2 premade pie crusts out. Using a cookie cutter or a large enough rimmed cup, cut into about 4-inch circles. You will need to gather the scraps, roll them out, and cut more circles to get at least 10.
Make egg wash by whisking together 2 egg whites and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl.
Place one of the dough circles on a work surface, place about two tablespoons of filling into the center of the dough, and brush the edge of one side of the dough with a little egg wash.
Fold the dough in half over the filling, creating a half circle. Use a fork to crimp the edges together. Continue with the rest of the dough and filling.
Brush each empanada with egg wash and air fry at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through. Work in batches, keeping space between the empanadas.
