Step 1

To make the slow cooker pork add the Smithfield Boneless Pork Shoulder Seasoned Carnitas to a slow cooker along with 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of orange juice and 1/2 cup of water. Cook the pork for 3-4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low. Once it's fully cooked pull apart with two forks to shred.

Step 2

In a bowl mix the slow cooker pork carnitas with the onions and cilantro.

Step 3

Put a spoon full of the carnitas mixture into the empanada disc.

Step 4

Seal the pork empanadas by using a fork at the edges or pressing it together with your fingers.

Step 5

Brush the empanada dough with a beaten egg and then place in the air fryer for about 5-7 minutes per side. (When you flip the empanada brush the other side with the egg wash.)

Step 6

Set your air fryer to 350-375 F. (350 if it cooks hot, or 375 if it's average)

Step 7

Enjoy with your favorite Mexican salsas, dips, and sides.
