About Empanadilla
Empanadilla is a small, savory pastry popular in Spanish and Latin American cuisine, often enjoyed as a snack or appetizer. Typically made by folding dough around a filling, common ingredients include minced meat, fish, cheese, or vegetables, seasoned with spices. Once filled, they are traditionally baked or fried to achieve a golden, flaky crust. Empanadillas provide a source of carbohydrates from the dough and protein from the meat or other fillings. The inclusion of vegetables like peppers or onions can add vitamins and fiber, enhancing their nutritional profile. However, fried empanadillas are higher in fat and calories compared to baked versions. Their cultural roots trace back to Iberian culinary traditions, influenced by the introduction of pastries to Spain during the Moorish period. A versatile dish, empanadillas accommodate various dietary preferences while offering a satisfying combination of textures and flavors.
