About Beef and cheese empanada
Beef and Cheese Empanadas are a savory delight rooted in Latin American cuisine, celebrated for their flaky golden crust and flavorful fillings. This handheld pastry typically contains seasoned ground beef, melted cheese, and aromatic spices, enclosed in a dough made from flour, water, and fat. Though incredibly satisfying, these empanadas are often high in calories and saturated fat due to the filling and frying process, depending on preparation methods. On the bright side, they offer a source of protein from the beef and dairy, as well as essential nutrients like iron. Baking rather than frying can make them a lighter option while still retaining their beloved taste. Empanadas also offer the flexibility to incorporate healthier ingredients, such as lean meats, reduced-fat cheese, or added vegetables, making them a customizable treat that can fit various dietary preferences.
