My family loves empanadas. There are so many different ways to make them and an infinite number of fillings. I prefer to make empanadas in the oven instead of frying them; I also like using lean meat, vegetables or fish for the filling to keep the empanadas light. I invite you to try these tuna empanadas for your next meal.
