empanadas salteñas

Argentina · Latin America

Short description: Empanadas salteñas are small regional turnovers, usually baked and filled with a juicy spiced meat mixture.
Ingredients: Wheat dough filled with beef, potato, hard-boiled egg, onion, red pepper, paprika, cumin, and chile.
Cultural note: Regional versions are often judged by their crimp, filling balance, and whether the pastry stays tender without leaking.
Common misconception: The name can be confused with a different soupy pastry tradition; this record targets the small regional baked turnover style.
