I love that these empanadas can be frozen. I made a double batch and froze half of them. They were just as delicious when I reheated them later. This is a great recipe for meal prep.

I got creative with the filling and added some chopped avocado and salsa. The empanadas were even more delicious with these additions. I highly recommend experimenting with different fillings to find your favorite combination.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the meat from the filling. The empanadas were still delicious, and I didn't even miss the meat. The smoky flavor from the black beans and corn was more than enough to satisfy my taste buds.

I love spicy food, so I added a bit of cayenne pepper to the filling. It gave the empanadas a nice kick, and they were even more delicious. If you like spicy food, I highly recommend adding some cayenne pepper to the recipe.
