Empanadas Colombianas
Corn-dough empanadas filled with seasoned potato and beef, deep-fried to a satisfying crunch.
Why It Works
The cornmeal shell fries up crunchier than wheat-based dough and provides a distinct corn flavor; the potato filling stays creamy inside, creating textural contrast with the shell.
