Preparation
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (180°C).
- Make the street corn: In a large bowl, mix together the corn, red bell pepper, orange bell pepper, jalapeño, red onion, cilantro, Cotija cheese, mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and cumin until well combined.
- Assemble the empanadas: Open and unroll one can of Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls. Cut into 4 rectangles, then firmly press the perforated lines together to seal. Cut each rectangle in half to form 8 squares.
- Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the street corn filling onto the center of each square and fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle. Firmly press the edges together with a fork to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and milk until smooth and brush the empanadas with the egg wash.
- Place 2–3 empanadas at a time in the air fryer basket and air fry until golden brown, 3–5 minutes. Transfer to a plate while you repeat with the remaining empanadas.
- Arrange the empanadas on a serving platter and top with the crema, Cotija cheese, and cilantro. Serve immediately.
- Enjoy!
