We’ve sent you two kinds of flaky, savory empanadas! Half are filled with seasoned chicken thighs and veggies and the rest are filled with seasoned ground beef and veggies. These Latin American pastries are the perfect appetizer or snack for any mealtime or gathering. All you have to do is bake or air fry them to golden perfection and share! We like to dip them in sour cream and salsa, but feel free to serve them with your favorite dips and toppings. Download recipe card for complete nutrition information.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

1

Keep refrigerated until ready to eat; best if used within 7 days.

2

OVEN: Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place empanadas on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake on middle rack until golden brown, 15-18 minutes. Flip halfway through baking. (Note: Oven times may vary.)

3

AIR FRYER: Coat an air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange empanadas side by side in basket (you may have to work in batches). Air fry at 375 degrees until golden brown, 8-10 minutes.

Review summary

Updated on Mar 2026
  • Flavor: Many enjoyed the beef empanadas, finding them tastier than the chicken; some found both flavors a bit bland.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to prepare, especially in the air fryer; great for snacks or on-the-go meals 🍲.
  • Suggestions: Consider serving with dipping sauces like salsa, sour cream, or chimichurri for added flavor.
  • Portions: Some felt the empanadas were smaller than expected, with 2-4 servings being more realistic than the stated 4-6.
  • Texture: Air frying produced a crispy exterior, though a few found the filling a bit dry.
