About Grilled corn and cheese empanada

Grilled Corn and Cheese Empanadas are a delicious blend of Latin American comfort and wholesome flavor. This handheld pastry features a golden-brown, flaky dough filled with a mix of sweet grilled corn, melty cheese, and a touch of spices for added depth. Inspired by traditional cuisine from Argentina and neighboring countries, these empanadas deliver a satisfying balance of textures and tastes. While the corn provides dietary fiber and key vitamins, such as B vitamins and antioxidants, the cheese contributes calcium and protein for bone and muscle health. However, their calorie content and fat levels can be higher due to the buttery dough and cheese filling, making moderation key for those watching their intake. Pair them with a fresh salad or a side of veggies to round out the meal and enjoy a taste of South American flair with every bite.
