What is this Mexican dish?

Empanadas are a popular dish in many Latin American, Spanish, and Filipino cuisines, consisting of a pastry filled with a variety of ingredients. The dough is typically made from wheat flour or cornmeal, and it is folded over a filling, which can be savory or sweet. Common savory fillings include seasoned meats, cheese, vegetables, and sometimes eggs or olives, while sweet versions might be filled with fruit preserves or sweetened cheese. Empanadas are usually baked or fried until golden and crispy, creating a delicious contrast between the flaky crust and the flavorful filling. They are enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or main course, and are often accompanied by dipping sauces or salsas.
