## Caption

The filled turnovers called empanadas were once exclusive to Latin bakeries and delis. Today, though, they have inspired dedicated entrepreneurs (empanadaneurs?) across Long Island, and no wonder: The neat handheld packages are one of the world’s great portable meals.

Traditional fillings include beef, chicken, seafood, cheese and/or potatoes in countless variations — but why stop there? Newfangled versions might be stuffed with the makings of a Philly cheesesteak, (local) bison, even mac-and-cheese or — gasp! — Oreo and Nutella. Let’s go find some fabulous empanadas.
