Salteñas are a traditional Bolivian pastry, similar to empanadas, filled with a variety of ingredients. They are typically made with a slightly sweet, golden-brown dough that is baked until crispy. Common fillings include meat, chicken, or vegetables, often combined with potatoes, peas, and spices, creating a flavorful mixture. These pastries are usually enjoyed as a snack or appetizer and are especially popular during breakfast or as a mid-afternoon treat. Salteñas are known for their unique juiciness, as the filling often contains a broth that makes them moist and delicious.
