Colombian Empanadas are made with masa (pre-cooked corn dough) filled with shredded beef, chicken, or a mixture of mashed potatoes and spices, then deep-fried until golden and crispy. Served with ají (spicy cilantro sauce) on the side, they’re a favorite street food, party appetizer, and snack available at nearly every corner shop and bakery across Colombia.

Fillings vary by region, with some versions including rice, cheese, or peas, while coastal versions may use seafood. Vegetarian versions with just potatoes and herbs are also widely available.
