About Empanada de iguana
Empanada de Iguana is a unique dish originating from Latin American cuisine, particularly in regions where iguana meat is traditionally consumed. This empanada features a savory filling made from tender, seasoned iguana meat, often combined with ingredients like onions, garlic, peppers, and local herbs, encased in a flaky, golden pastry shell. Iguana meat is a lean protein source, rich in vitamins and minerals such as B vitamins, potassium, and phosphorus, making it a nutritious alternative to other meats. However, the empanada's pastry, typically made with refined flour and fried or baked, can add calories, fats, and carbohydrates, making it less suitable for lower-calorie diets. Empanada de Iguana is a fusion of bold flavors and cultural tradition, offering a glimpse into regional culinary practices while balancing tasty indulgence with nutritional benefits.
