I will never forget the first time I ever tasted an empanada. I was 18 and working with a girl from Argentina who brought them in one day for us to try.
I was immediately hooked.
Those empanadas were definitely integral in opening my eyes to the world of culinary travel an unmentionable number of years ago.
For today’s post on the A to Z Blog Challenge, I can’t resist sharing a photo of my favorite empanadas here in Belize. They are masa based, stuffed with fish and served with a cabbage relish that is divine. They are lighter and less filling than many other empanadas I’ve had, which means I can easily scarf down an entire order on my own.
If you visit Belize, I definitely recommend giving these a try! Also, try the coconut shrimp curry – it’s one of my favorite dishes of all time!

Love empanadas…these look delicious! The cabbage relish next to them looks pretty tasty too! I can see I am going to be hungry all the time during this A toZ Challenge!
Definitely! We have a lot more from our plates on our plate 🙂
