Flaky, savory, and 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. *Nutrition values are representative of approximately 3 empanadas. There are 2.5 servings per container.*

Reviews from our home cooks
The empanadas from HelloFresh were a hit - savory, fresh, and full of flavor without tasting cheap or overly processed. They were simple to prepare, came together quickly, and turned out delicious. A fun and satisfying meal that felt both homemade and enjoyable.
Really enjoying the beef empanadas. I pop them in the microwave for 60 seconds and eat on the run. I am sure they are even better in the air fryer!
Very good beef filling with mild and delicious spices. My only negative is the crust. Your photo shows that it looks like a pastry crust, while in actuality, it looks like a grey-brown covering. It didn't taste bad, but not real good either. I would have taken off half a star if I could.
I had a batch of fresh made red Chile sauce in my fridge that needed to be finished off. I dunked these empanadas in the sauce after pulling them out of the toaster oven and they turned out great.
These are a perfect lunch or dinner when I don't feel like cooking. Very tasty and bake up easily. Major plus that these are offered as my free item. I've ordered them many times and hope they stick around!
These are great and always good. We have a salad with the beef empanadas for lunch or as an appetizer for dinner. They are a great snack.
I always like these empanadas. They cook up so quickly and easily in my air fryer and make a great lunch option.
They were spiced okay, but very dry filling, could have benefited from a sauce. Empanada crust was quite chewy, and very bland. I wish it would have gotten crisper in the oven and had more flavor overall.
The beef empanadas were quite tasty and so easy to cook. I like how they are frozen so I can pull them out whenever I need an appetizer.
Love these mini empanadas. Very practical for quick breakfast before going to work
