- For the Empanada dough: In a mixing bowl combine the masa harina, flour, cornmeal and baking pwdr. Season with the salt and pepper and mix thoroughly. Cream in the lard and add in the water a little at a time, working the mix till all is completely incorporated. Using your hands, form the dough into a log about 12 inches long by 3 inches across and chill for about 20 min.
- In a large saute/fry pan, over medium heat, add in the oil. When the oil is warm, add in the onions. Season with salt and crushed red pepper. Saute/fry for 2 min. Add in the chicken. Saute/fry for 2 to 3 min. Remove from the heat and turn into a mixing bowl. Add in the garlic, green onions, olives, raisins and Large eggs. Season with salt. Mix well.
- On a floured surface, roll the dough out to a circle, 1/8-inch thick. Using a 4-inch round cutter, cut the dough into individual circles. Press the remaining dough together and repeat the above process.

Fold the dough over, forming a half-moon, using your fingers, seal the edges completely and crimp the sides of the dough. Place the finished empanadas on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
