About Empanadilla tuna

Empanadilla Tuna is a savory pastry originating from Spanish and Latin American cuisines. This pocket-sized delight features a golden, flaky dough filled with a flavorful mixture of tuna, sautéed onions, peppers, tomatoes, olives, and spices. The harmonious blend of ingredients provides a protein-rich filling, thanks to the tuna, which is also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids and essential nutrients like vitamin D and selenium. The vegetables contribute fiber and vitamins, making the filling an overall nutrient-packed option. However, the dough is typically fried, which can add extra calories and unhealthy fats, depending on the preparation. Opting for baked versions or whole-grain dough can improve the nutritional profile. Empanadilla Tuna offers a delicious balance of protein, healthy fats, and vitamins, making it an indulgent yet moderately healthy choice for snacking or as part of a meal.
