About Tuna empanada
Tuna empanada is a flavorful pastry originating from Spanish and Latin American cuisines, celebrated for its portable, hearty appeal. This savory dish typically features a filling made with canned tuna, sautéed onions, garlic, bell peppers, tomatoes, and olives, seasoned with spices like paprika and oregano. The mixture is encased in a dough that’s either baked or fried to a golden crisp. While tuna is a rich source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential nutrients like vitamin D and B12, the healthfulness of a tuna empanada largely depends on preparation methods. Baking is a lighter option compared to frying, which increases fat and calorie content. The dish’s carbohydrates are derived from the pastry, while additional calories may come from added oils. Tuna empanadas offer a delicious way to enjoy a protein-packed snack or meal, especially when consumed alongside a balanced diet and enjoyed in moderation.
