Pork Picadillo Empandas

Made these and really loved the Moroccan flavors of the meat. Very different compared to your typical empanada.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Heat oil in a sauté pan to medium-high heat. Add ground pork until no longer pink. Stir in jalapeño and seasonings until most of liquid evaporates.
- 2
Transfer to a bowl and add raisins and almonds. Season with lime juice. Fold in sour cream adding just enough to bind meat filling. Put in fridge to cool.
- 3
To make dough blend flour, masa harina, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Add melted lard and mix by hand until moistened. Blend 4oz of water and 1 egg at a time gradually. When dough forms into a ball lightly knead until pliable.
- 4
To assemble roll out dough into 3 in circles. Add small amount of filling, about a 1/2 oz to middle. Brush edges with egg wash, fold in half and seal seams with a fork. Transfer to parchment lined pans and refrigerate until ready to fry
- 5
Heat oil in a deep 2 1/2 in pan or deep fryer to 350. Add empanadas to hot oil and fry both sides until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with pico de gallo or salsa.
