About Corn queso empanada
The Corn Queso Empanada is a delightful handheld pastry inspired by Latin American cuisine. Encased in a crisp, golden-brown wheat flour shell, this empanada is filled with a creamy blend of queso cheese, sweet corn kernels, and a hint of savory seasoning. Rich in carbohydrates from its crust and calcium from the cheese, it offers a balance of textures that is both indulgent and satisfying. While its cheesy filling provides protein and calcium, the empanada is also higher in saturated fats due to its dairy content and frying process. The sweet corn adds dietary fiber and natural sweetness, contributing a touch of wholesomeness. A flavorful addition to any meal, the Corn Queso Empanada is perfect as a snack or appetizer but best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
