There’s nothing like sinking your teeth into a tender and flaky empanada with a hearty pork and cheese filling. Empanada means “to wrap in bread” which is very descriptive for this dish. The little pockets of joy are a true crowd-pleaser that makes the perfect party food or a grab-and-go snack.
There are many variations of empanadas. You can fill the savory, golden pastry with a variety of ingredients such as pork, beef, chicken, or tuna. If you want to make a vegetarian version, vegetable filling works just as well. You can either bake or fry the empanadas depending on what you prefer. In this recipe, we bake the empanadas.
If you want more flavors and texture in your Jamonilla® empanadas simply add vegetables such as green peas, onions, grated carrots, or potatoes.
