We could write long love letters to empanadas [1]. We could wax poetic about their delicious dough, either fried or baked, and the delightfulness of taking that first bite only to find the yummiest filling — sometimes meaty, sometimes cheesy, sometimes neither [2]. We could even tell you how we are not ashamed to admit that we eat them every single time we spot them on a menu.
But why should we limit ourselves to only having these delicious pastries [3] when out for dinner? We're done with that. That's why we've decided to round up these recipes that'll allow us to enjoy a good old empanada every time we freaking feel like it.
