Mini Empanadas Colombia are bite-sized pastries originating from Colombian cuisine, celebrated for their rich flavors and satisfying texture. These savory treats are traditionally crafted with a golden, crispy cornmeal dough, encasing a flavorful filling of seasoned ground beef, potatoes, onions, and spices. Their smaller size makes them perfect for snacking or sharing at gatherings. While they offer a source of protein and energy due to the beef and potatoes, they are typically fried, which increases their fat content. Moderation is key when enjoying these empanadas, as their crispy exterior and hearty filling can be higher in calories. They can be served with fresh lime juice or spicy sauces, adding a burst of flavor without adding excessive calories. For a healthier alternative, baking rather than frying can reduce their fat content while maintaining their delicious appeal.
