About Restaurant, Latino, empanadas, beef, prepared
The empanada is a hand-held pastry found across Latin America and Spain: a disk of dough folded around a savory filling — here seasoned beef — and crimped shut before being fried or baked. Crisp outside and rich inside, it's equal parts snack and small meal, and the buttery or fried dough is what makes it so satisfying.
It's also the most calorie-dense item in this group, at about 335 calories per 100 grams. The pastry shell pushes both fat and carbohydrate high — roughly 18 grams of fat and 31 grams of carbohydrate per 100 grams — while the beef contributes a solid 11 grams of protein and a useful 2 grams of fiber comes along from the dough and filling. Sodium runs around 440 milligrams per 100 grams and cholesterol near 26 milligrams.
Because the calories live mostly in the fried or butter-rich dough, empanadas are best enjoyed as an occasional treat rather than an everyday food. Baked versions are lighter than fried ones, and a vegetable- or chicken-filled empanada trims some of the richness — but at their heart these are a small indulgence, and a couple of them are plenty.
