About Bean empanada

Bean Empanadas are a savory pastry popular in Latin American cuisine, often enjoyed as a snack or light meal. These empanadas feature a filling made from seasoned beans, which can include black beans, pinto beans, or refried beans, blended with spices like cumin, chili powder, and garlic for rich flavor. The filling is wrapped in a flaky, golden-brown pastry dough, traditionally made from flour, water, and fat such as butter or oil. Beans are an excellent source of protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, making the filling a healthy component that supports digestion and heart health. However, the pastry can be high in refined carbohydrates and fats, depending on the preparation method. Oven-baked varieties are a lighter option compared to traditional fried empanadas. A satisfying combination of taste and nutrition, Bean Empanadas are a delicious way to incorporate more plant-based ingredients into your diet.
