About Bean and cheese empanada
The Bean and Cheese Empanada is a savory pastry rooted in Latin American cuisine, offering a satisfying blend of flavors and textures. Its golden, flaky crust encases a filling of creamy refried beans and melted cheese, creating a hearty balance of protein and carbohydrates. Traditionally baked or fried, this handheld delight delivers bold flavor with mild spices that complement the richness of its ingredients. While the beans provide fiber and plant-based protein, the cheese offers calcium and essential nutrients. However, the healthiness of this empanada depends on the preparation method—baked versions are lower in fat, while fried ones may be higher in calories and saturated fats. As a versatile dish, it's ideal for a quick snack or as part of a balanced meal when paired with fresh vegetables or a salad. Enjoy this comforting classic while being mindful of portion sizes and preparation style.
