Empanadas, or "Empanadillas," are savory turnovers made by filling a dough pocket with meat, vegetables, or cheese, then baking or frying them to golden perfection. In Spain, empanadas originated in Galicia, where large pie-like versions called empanada gallega are often filled with tuna, onions, and bell peppers. The concept spread widely during colonial times and evolved regionally across Latin America.

Today, Spanish empanadas are commonly eaten at room temperature as a snack, appetizer, or part of a picnic spread.
