Puerto Rican empanadas—often called empanadillas—are crispy, golden turnovers filled with savory ingredients like seasoned ground beef, chicken, cheese, Guava or pizza. The dough, typically made from wheat flour, is folded into a half-moon shape, sealed, and fried until perfectly crunchy on the outside while staying warm and flavorful inside. Found everywhere from beach kiosks to family kitchens, they’re a staple comfort food that captures the island’s bold seasoning and love for handheld, shareable bites.
