Top 9 Empanada RecipesEmpanadas are pastry shell turnovers made by folding dough over a filling and sealing it. In Latin Caribbean cooking, empanadas are stuffed with sweet or savory fillings and then baked or fried. 1. Empanada Dough Every tasty empanada starts with the dough. In Latin Caribbean cooking you’ll come across two types of dough. One is simple flour dough much like a pie crust and the other is reddish yellow dough made with yucca.

Note: Empanada dough is available in specialty markets in the form of frozen discs, usually 10 discs per pack.
