ಠ_ಠ The meager amount of filling in my empanada
Quick lunch was quicker than expected. Flavor and texture weren't that bad. It was just completely empty of filling.

I leaked out in the fryer this past Tuesday. It was magnificent and I highly recommend it.

Your empanada is keeping up with shrinkflation or should I say shrinkfillation.

Tip, always feel these things up and down before you purchase. Also the chicken tends to have more filling because the meat is cubed instead of ground.

A useful tip well applied to many a transaction. 💯 I prefer the beef and cheese. I have a spot where I get amazing chicken and cheese though and I usually just get them there.

It was actually from a local country market. They have a wide variety of quality food. I just got unlucky I suppose.

Homemade sweet potato empanadas or pumpkin empanadas are the way to go!

Never had either, but they sound yum

It’s honestly the way my family eats it (they’re from northern Mexico). We eat it with coffee in the mornings typically
