About Chorizo empanada
Chorizo Empanada is a flavorful pastry originating from Spanish and Latin American cuisines. It consists of a golden, flaky dough filled with spiced chorizo sausage, often accompanied by onions, peppers, or other vegetables for added texture and taste. The filling is seasoned with savory spices, creating a perfect balance of smokiness and richness. Traditional recipes typically call for frying, though baked versions are increasingly popular for their lower fat content. While the empanada offers a satisfying dose of protein from the chorizo, it can be high in saturated fat and sodium, so moderation is advised. Opting for leaner sausage or whole-grain dough can enhance its nutritional profile. Pairing it with a fresh salad or serving it as an occasional treat makes this dish a delicious indulgence within a balanced diet.
