Trader Joe's · Frozen Meals
Four frozen empanadas come in at 9.6 ounces total, each one built around a cassava-based crust instead of the usual wheat pastry. Inside is shredded beef in a tomato sauce with onions, bell peppers, and spices, a filling tied to Cuban-style ropa vieja, where the meat gets cooked until it pulls apart into soft strands. They heat from frozen in the oven or air fryer in about 10 to 15 minutes. Compared with other Trader Joe's frozen hand pies, these lean more toward a sturdier, slightly chewy shell and a saucier center.
