About Cheesburger empanada

A Cheeseburger Empanada is a fusion snack that combines the flavors of a classic American cheeseburger with the traditional Latin American empanada. This handheld treat features a crispy, golden pastry shell stuffed with seasoned ground beef, melty cheddar cheese, diced onions, and sometimes pickles, mimicking the classic cheeseburger experience. The empanada dough is often made with flour, oil, and water, while the filling is cooked with spices to enhance its flavor. While the cheeseburger empanada is rich in protein from the beef and cheese, it can also be high in saturated fats and calories due to the frying process and pastry. For a healthier version, it can be baked instead of fried and paired with a side of fresh vegetables. This dish offers a fun twist for those exploring international cuisine while indulging in familiar comfort food flavors.
