Empanadas is a name for a fast food specialty that is often served in restaurants as an entrée. It is not originally an Argentine dish. Rather, it was brought in by the Spanish in the 16th century. These baked or roasted rolls of pastry can be filled with different condiments, such as chicken, beef, pork, minced turkey meat or chicken, beans, vegetables, rice, seafood, cheese, and, surprisingly, fruit.
It is no wonder that there is an empanada for everyone.
