Empanada Recipes

Try this easy and authentic empanada pastry dough! Quick to make since all ingredients are mixed in a food processor, then kneaded just very quickly and it's done. You can make it in advance, just cut it into discs, and freeze for later use.

This basic dough can be filled with Empanada Pork Filling, then fried or baked.

These fried empanadas are the best! Raisins and eggs make this recipe extra delicious believe it or not!

The perfect pastry for all meals! Empanadas, or beef turnovers, are discs of pastry packed with meat. Some turnover recipes call for all manner of fillings, but this GOYA® Empanada recipe features a delicious tomato, onion, garlic and beef mixture. You can enjoy empanadas as an appetizer, a main dish, or even after your main course. Use GOYA® Discos, or frozen pastry rounds, for a flaky beef turnover that will make your mouth water.

Better make plenty - these disappear fast. The unbaked dough may be frozen. The baked cookies may also be frozen.
