Whole Wheat Potato & Tuna Stuffed Mini Empanadas

This version of the classic empanadillas is much more filling and nutritious thanks to the use of whole wheat flour and baking instead of frying. The potato filling adds a creamy texture that pairs perfectly with the tuna, creating a traditional bite with an improved nutritional profile. To season the filling and enhance the flavor of the sea without adding sodium, we will use Bonsalt .
