Pizza & Beef Empanadas
Two flavors, because más is better! | 4-6 Servings
- Milk
- Wheat
We’ve sent you two kinds of flaky, savory empanadas! Half are filled with seasoned ground beef and veggies, and the rest are filled with margherita pizza flavors (like tomato sauce, basil, and mozzarella). 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.*

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

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 Feb 2026- Flavor: Beef empanadas were generally enjoyed, while pizza ones received mixed reviews. Some found both varieties bland or lacking flavor.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to prepare in the air fryer, with crispy results in just 8-10 minutes.
- Suggestions: Consider serving with dipping sauces like salsa or sour cream to enhance flavor. Try heating from frozen for better results.
- Portions: Several noted the empanadas were smaller than expected, with less filling compared to the amount of pastry.
- Texture: Some found the filling too pasty or gritty; air frying helped achieve a crispy exterior.
Reviews from our home cooks
I am ordering these meals to get my 11 year old to try different foods. He originally loved these, but then found a large leaf of basil or something and he thought it was a bug. I assured him it looked more like basil and reminded him that he likes basil. If we are going to make it "kid friendly" we have to hide certain items which may require a little more chopping and/or a full blend. I liked them and thought they were good. I love how you are hiding the vegetables in it.
A new favorite snack! These are not your average snack foods. They are actually filled with ingredients, cook nicely and taste yummy!
Excellent flavor. Worked out very well in the air fryer
Perfect freezer appetizer. We ate them for lunch one afternoon. Our toddler grandson loved them and ate two.
My boys love these! Quick and easy in the air fryer!!!
We enjoyed these as well. Very nice, but would be better with a salsa.
Son loved pizza empanadas and I loved the beef ones.
These are great! Better than past ones that I have ordered.
They were good but the pizza ones didn't have enough sauce and all of them were too little
The beef were outstanding, but the pizza was missing some cheese or pepperoni it was just dough with pizza tasting sauce.
