About Picadillo empanada
Picadillo Empanadas are a savory pastry originating from Latin American and Spanish cuisine, offering a hearty blend of flavors encased in a golden, flaky dough. The filling typically features ground beef cooked with a mix of tomatoes, onions, peppers, garlic, and traditional spices like cumin and oregano, often complemented by olives, raisins, or potatoes for added texture and sweetness. While rich in protein and fiber from the beef and vegetables, empanadas can be calorie-dense due to the use of refined flour in the crust and added fats from frying or baking. Some recipes might include healthier adaptations, like whole-grain dough or lean beef, and baking instead of frying to reduce fat content. A delicious and comforting meal, Picadillo Empanadas offer a balance of sweet and savory flavors but should be enjoyed in moderation if keeping an eye on calorie and fat intake.
