About Enpanada
Empanadas are savory or sweet turnovers popular in Latin American, Spanish, and Filipino cuisines. Typically made with a dough prepared from wheat or corn flour, they are stuffed with a variety of fillings, such as seasoned meats, cheese, vegetables, or fruits. The fillings often reflect regional flavors, with ingredients like spiced ground beef, chicken, onions, olives, and peppers being common. Empanadas are usually baked or fried, offering a crispy, golden exterior that complements their flavorful fillings. Nutritionally, they provide protein from the meat or cheese and fiber from included vegetables, but they can be high in saturated fats and calories, particularly when fried or made with rich pastry dough. Opting for baked preparations and whole-grain dough can improve their health profile. Empanadas offer a convenient and versatile meal or snack, blending cultural tradition with satisfying texture and taste.
