About Caprese empanada

The Caprese Empanada is a flavorful fusion of Italian and Latin cuisines, blending the classic Caprese salad's fresh ingredients into the convenient, handheld form of an empanada. Inside a golden, flaky pastry shell, you'll find ripe tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and aromatic basil, complemented by a drizzle of balsamic glaze for added zest. This dish delivers a burst of nutrients from the tomatoes, which are rich in antioxidants like lycopene, and the basil, known for its vitamins and anti-inflammatory properties. The mozzarella contributes calcium and protein but also adds a moderate amount of saturated fat, making portion control important for those seeking a balanced diet. With its simple yet satisfying ingredients, the Caprese Empanada offers a delicious way to enjoy Mediterranean-inspired flavors while embracing the portability and warmth of traditional Latin street food.
