Tuna empanada is one of the many varieties of empanada. Unlike pork, chicken or beef empanada, this is healthier because it uses tuna flakes which most of us know that it has Omega-3 oil that is good for the heart. In this recipe we used canned tuna instead of fresh tuna because it is easier and more suited to making empanadas. The recipe also used an Afritada mix and tuna instead of fresh tomatoes and tuna which is a popular combination of Spanish tuna empanada.
