While traveling through Argentina, I sampled my favorite iteration of them all, "Empanadas Humitas" which translates to "Empanada with Corn". I tried an Empanada de Humita (Corn Empanada)….and boy, was I hooked. Unfortunately most empanadas aren't vegan, as they have either butter or lard in the dough and/or are stuffed with cheese.
