Introduction: An empanada is a pastry turnover filled with delicious ingredients. The word "empanada" comes from the Spanish verb "empanar"* meaning "to coat or to bread." Empanadas are made of dough that is wrapped around filings like meats (beef, chicken, or pork), cheeses, vegetables (potato, spinach, or corn) or fruits (apples, berries, pumpkin, etc.). They are usually fried or baked. Empanadas are great as a meal or snack.
