Jalapeno Popper Empanadas are a delightful twist on two beloved classics: the spicy, cheesy bite of jalapeno poppers and the comforting, handheld goodness of empanadas. Growing up in the Midwest, I remember family gatherings full of laughter, hearty food, and a hint of spice from our beloved pepper dishes. These empanadas bring back those cherished memories but with a healthy, low-carb twist using ground chicken as the wrapper. They're perfect for anyone looking to indulge without the guilt!
These Low Carb Jalapeno Popper Empanadas pair wonderfully with a fresh, crisp salad or steamed vegetables to keep your meal light and balanced. You might also enjoy them with a side of guacamole or a cooling cucumber-yogurt dip. And of course, no Midwestern meal is complete without a tall glass of iced tea or lemonade.
