About Enpanadas
Empanadas are savory pastries originating from Spanish and Latin American cuisines, celebrated for their versatile fillings and convenient, handheld form. They typically consist of a dough made from flour, water, and fat, folded around a flavorful filling that can include seasoned meat, vegetables, cheese, or even fruits for sweeter variations. Common fillings feature lean proteins like chicken or beans, vegetables such as peppers and onions, and aromatic spices. While empanadas are often baked for a healthier preparation, they can also be fried, which increases their calorie and fat content. They provide a source of protein, fiber, and essential vitamins depending on the filling, but should be enjoyed in moderation due to the refined carbohydrates and potential for high fat levels. A great option for a balanced meal, pair them with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables to maximize nutritional benefits and enhance digestion.
