Empanadas
Delicious crust made of cassava-root starch, rice flour, cheese, butter, eggs, tomatoes, and sea salt. Filled with different types of meats and veggies. All Gluten Free
This Cheesy Chicken Empanada is made with our traditional Cassava crust filled with roasted chicken breast, previously marinated with olive oil, garlic, onions, oregano, paprika, cumin, black pepper, lime juice, sea salt and brown sugar. Then it is mixed with mozzarella cheese and cream cheese, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, green bell pepper, onion and cilantro.4.75 USD
It takes us hours to roast the pork shoulder to perfection, but every minute is worth it to achieve that deep, sweet flavor. Carrots and onions mirror and enhance the flavor of the meat, and our addition of house-made plum sauce makes this an empanada you won't try just once. With 16g of protein, this is our meatiest empanada of all.5.25 USD

This empanada achieves a Mediterranean flavor profile that’s regionally authentic, but still melds well with our signature Cassava dough. We started by teaming up well-seasoned chicken thighs and Kalamata Olives to create a deep, savory flavor base and a hearty, meaty bite. Then, we added roasted garlic and sweet dates, which balance each other in perfect portion. Finally, we added a bit of irresistible melty feta, a subtle salty element that makes all the flavors and textures hold hands in this transcontinental masterpiece.

For our Huevos Rancheros empanadas, we returned to a traditional Mexican recipe, relying on standbys like red beans, chipotle pepper, and cheddar cheese to create a superior breakfast alternative. In our carnivorous version, we use sirloin steak to deliver an endocrine-friendly protein-punch and, in our vegetarian version, fiber-rich beans will keep you steady and full for the first part of the day. And, of course, we added bell peppers, cause no meal is a good meal without a few veggies.

The roasted veggies empanada is a darling of vegetarians and carnivores alike. If you've got picky little eaters at home, this could be the way you finally get them to eat their veggies (and ask for seconds). The filling is packed with flavor and nutrition. The broccoli & cauliflower together offer a whopping dose of vitamins C & K (crucial for vitamin D absorption), the zucchini brings antioxidants to the table, and the parmesan ties it all up with a bow.

Admit it. You miss them: those delicious, cheesy, oh-so- filling-and- comforting Hot Pockets from your high school and college days. And the Bagel Bites. And the Tombstone pizzas. Even, God help you, the SpaghettiOs.
There’s no shame in it; we feel you. The nostalgia is as real as the fact that we simply can’t eat like that anymore. So we developed the Smoked Sausage and Marinara Empanada, a healthy, adult, gluten-free version of those youthful comfort foods. It’s got all the same gooey, meaty, deep sweet tomatoey goodness, but with an elevated spice profile (because we pay taxes now, so we deserve it).
INGREDIENTS
Crust: cassava-root starch, rice flour, cheese (milk, cheese cultures, salt, enzymes, cellulose, potato starch), butter (cream, salt), eggs, tomato paste (tomatoes), sea salt.
Filling: sausage (pork, beef, water, sea salt, natural flavor, roasted garlic, organic evaporated cane syrup), cheese (milk, salt, enzymes, cheese cultures, potato starch, cellulose), tomato paste (tomatoes), oregano.
Allergens: contains eggs, dairy. Prepared in a facility that processes nuts.
