About Guava and cheese empanada

Guava and Cheese Empanadas are a delicious pastry originating from Latin American cuisine, particularly popular in countries like Cuba and Puerto Rico. These empanadas feature a flaky, golden crust filled with a sweet and tangy guava paste paired with creamy cheese, often cream cheese or queso fresco. The combination of flavors creates a rich and indulgent treat that is perfect for dessert or a snack. While the guava provides a source of vitamin C and antioxidants, the pastry dough and cheese contribute to a higher calorie count, as well as saturated fats and refined carbohydrates. Moderation is key when enjoying this treat, as it’s best savored occasionally rather than as a daily indulgence. Guava and Cheese Empanadas offer a flavorful way to experience traditional Latin flavors, but balanced portions are essential for incorporating them into a healthy diet.
