Love empanadas? I share 22 delicious ways to make empanadas! Bake it or fry, either way, they are delicious!
Are you an empanadas lover? If you are, I have a huge list of 22 delicious ways to make empanadas. One of my favorite things about making empanadas is how quick and easy they are to prepare. They can be baked or fried (or use the air fryer). Did I mention all the possibilities? In Puerto Rico, we call empanadas, “pastellitos” which is essentially the same thing. Many people just make them different or fold the ends a different way. But either way, they are delicious! Post contains affiliate links.

So many choices! I love how creative some of these recipes are. I have some favorites that I cannot wait to try. My husband is obsessed with the Taco Bell Caramel Apple empanadas, have you tried it? So good! I’m not a big sweets person so I just take a bite but he loves it. I’m going to try some of the dessert empanadas this week. He is going to love it.
To save time I buy the pre-made dough found in the freezer section (usually the Latino frozen section) it makes it so much easier to prepare a recipe. You can just add whatever you want, fold it over and secure it with a fork. I also use this empanada press to fold it. Way easier! You just lay the round empanada dough, add your filling, and close the press. It will seal it for you!
