Brush a small amount of oil on an 8 x 10-inch square of aluminum foil. Spread on 1/4 cup of the dough. Place 1 tablespoon of picadillo on top. Fold the foil so the filling is completely covered. Smooth the fritter out with the back of a spoon. Repeat the process with the rest of the dough. When ready to fry, carefully remove the fritters from the foil. In a skillet, heat the corn oil until but not smoking. Fry a few alcapurrias at a time until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
