About Empanada de carne
Empanada de Carne is a savory Latin American pastry filled with seasoned ground beef, onions, and a mix of spices, often including paprika, cumin, and garlic. Originating from Spanish cuisine and embraced widely across Latin America, these handheld delights feature a flaky, golden-brown exterior made from wheat flour dough. While empanadas de carne provide protein from the beef and some essential nutrients from the vegetables used in the filling, they can also be high in saturated fat and calories, depending on preparation methods such as frying versus baking. Opting for leaner cuts of beef, incorporating more vegetables, and baking instead of frying can boost their nutritional profile. This hearty and flavorful dish offers a glimpse into the rich culinary heritage of its region while serving as a convenient and portable meal or snack option.
