Panamanian Baked Beef Empanadas
These baked empanadas feature a savory ground beef filling with potatoes, olives, and a hint of spice, all encased in a flaky pastry. A classic Panamanian snack or light meal, they are baked instead of fried for a lighter finish. The filling is simmered until rich and flavorful before being assembled and baked to a golden brown.
