Beef empanadas are savory pastries originating from Latin American and Spanish cuisine, cherished for their flavorful, portable design. Traditionally, they consist of a flaky, golden-brown pastry shell stuffed with a seasoned filling of ground beef, onions, garlic, bell peppers, and a blend of spices like cumin and paprika. Some variations may include olives, raisins, or boiled eggs for added texture and flavor. While rich in protein from the beef and packed with nutrients from vegetables, they can be high in saturated fats and calories, particularly if deep-fried or made with buttery dough. Baking them can offer a lighter alternative. Enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or main dish, beef empanadas showcase a delightful balance of textures and bold flavors, reflecting the vibrant culinary traditions of their region of origin.
