FAQ
Can I freeze these empanadas? Yes, you can freeze the assembled empanadas before baking. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place them in the freezer until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a resealable plastic bag or container for up to three months. When ready to enjoy, bake them directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
Can I use a different type of meat? Absolutely! While beef is traditional, you can substitute ground chicken, turkey, or even plant-based crumbles for a different flavor profile. Just be sure to adjust the seasoning accordingly to suit your taste preferences.
Can I make my own empanada dough? Of course! If you prefer homemade dough, there are countless recipes available online. Just ensure that the dough is rolled out thinly for a crisp, flaky crust.
