About Empanadas de frijol
Empanadas de Frijol are a traditional Mexican dish featuring savory turnovers filled with seasoned refried beans. Typically made with a masa dough crafted from corn, these empanadas are folded and sealed before being fried or baked to a golden crisp. The filling is often spiced with ingredients like onion, garlic, or chili to enhance the rich, earthy flavor of the beans. Their roots in Mexican cuisine make them a popular street food and a comforting snack or meal option. Nutritionally, they offer plant-based protein and fiber from the beans, promoting digestive health and sustained energy. However, the preparation method can impact their health profile—fried versions tend to be higher in calories and fats, while baked empanadas are a lighter alternative. When enjoyed in moderation and paired with fresh salsa or a vegetable side, Empanadas de Frijol can be both flavorful and nourishing.
