Vegetarian Empanada

Empanada is a pastry traditionally filled with meat, but this version is entirely vegetarian. The filling consists of vegetables, such as onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes, seasoned with spices like cumin and chili powder, and sometimes mixed with cheese. The filling is then enclosed in a pastry shell and baked or fried. This vegetarian version provides a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals from the mix of vegetables in the filling. However, the pastry shell can be high in calories and fat, so it's best to enjoy this as an occasional treat rather than a regular part of your diet.
