empanadas
Latin American turnovers
Empanadas are pastries made by folding dough around a filling and baking or frying.
The filling varies by region—beef, chicken, cheese, vegetables, or fruit.
Common throughout Latin America and Spain, each country has distinctive styles: Argentine empanadas differ from Chilean, which differ from Colombian.
We ordered a dozen empanadas for the party.
