Flaky, savory, and filled with a mix of panela, ricotta, and Oaxacan cheese, these Latin American pastries are the perfect appetizer or snack. All you have to do is bake or air fry the empanadas to golden crispy perfection! We like to dip them in sour cream and hot sauce, but feel free to serve them with any of your favorite dips and toppings.
