South American
South America is made up of so many incredibly diverse ethnic cuisines. It also features more varieties of empanadas than you could possibly imagine!
Try these sweet and savory football-shaped Bolivian empanadas called Salteñas. They feature a stewy filling of shredded chicken and vegetables with a crispy, slightly sweet crust. Or perhaps Argentinian Beef Empanadas Tucumanas are more your style, with a hand-chopped braised beef filling.
Or perhaps try some chifa cuisine, a Peruvian-Chinese fusion. This Arroz Chaufa is an easy fried rice dish you could even make on a weeknight!
