What Are Empanadillas?
The empanada is a food with a lot of history. These hand pies are usually made up of a combination of meats, vegetables, and cheese contained in flaky dough. They originated in Spain and Portugal hundreds of years ago – maybe even as far back as the 16th century! Empanadillas were introduced to Latin America by Spanish colonists, and they remain very popular to this day. Argentinian Empanadillas like ours usually include beef, chicken, or vegetables and cheese.
Empanadillas began as a workday lunch due to their convenience, but they quickly became an important part of Argentinian culture. Families often come together to prepare and eat this versatile food during parties and Sunday dinners.
