In Spain, Portugal, the Caribbean, Latin America, and the Philippines, an empanada (not to be confused with the Portuguese empada, which is a different dish) is essentially a stuffed pastry. The name comes from the Spanish verb empanar, meaning to wrap or coat in bread. Usually the empanada is made by folding a thin circular shaped [[dough]] patty over the stuffing, creating its typical semicircular shape.

It is likely that the empanadas in the Americas were originally from Galicia, Spain, where an empanada is prepared similar to a pie that is cut in pieces, making it a portable and hearty meal for working people. The Galician empanada is usually prepared with [[cod fish]] or [[chicken]]. Due to the large number of Galician immigrants in Latin America, the empanada gallega has also become very popular in that region.
