Mexican, African or Carribean flavors.
So many options, those are just a small handful.

Can I Freeze These Hand Pies?
Yes! If you wanted to make these for now and save some for later in the year, you absolutely can. You will want to freeze the hand pies without the glaze.
Place them on a sheet tray and let them freeze for about two to four hours. You want to make sure that they do not stick together later.
After the time in the freezer on the sheet pan, you can now put them in a baggie or container for later cooking.
Let it thaw about half way before placing in the air fryer.
