It's meat and cheese surrounded by bread so I'd think maybe, but I'd love to hear some opinions!
They are a ravioli.

Which is a calzone.
Which is a grilled cheese
The oil being so close to the top makes me a little nervous
Yeah it was a bit over filled for the size of the empanadas, I don't generally deep fry things so I didn't really notice until I started putting them in, so I just took it slow and only ran 2 at a time
I would consider them a type of dumpling.
A large dumple, even
I forgot that there are savory empanadas, many that I run into are sweet with caramel or fruit filling.
The savory ones are basically meatpies, so I'd say empanadas are little pies.
Now I need to find a sweet one, I’ve only had spicy meat ones.
If there is a real Mexican restaurant (vs tex-mex or new mex-mex) or Hispanic grocery store near you, you might be able to find one. Dulce de Leche seems to be a popular flavor
They based on Cornish pasties
The Cornish diaspora took their culinary delights around the world
I say yes, in the same way that a folded over NY Slice of pie is a sandwich. Handheld bread containing yummies are sandwiches!
The empanada is the hotdog of the future!
- The guy who keeps trying to sell me more empanadas.
It's a calzone. Come on, this is basic cube rule stuff.
I got some frozen enpanadas recently and the directions for microwaving them specifically called them "sandwiches" 🤷♂️
Oh, well there we go, the food authorities have already labeled it for us! Lol
In Spanish the word for sandwich also starts with 'empa' so I think they must be
depends on the region...
My first time in Montevideo had me cringing at going from "quiero este ~~empanada~~ emparedado" to "este sanguiche"
Our culture corrupts everything it touches 😖
FYI I had a brainfart, putting empanada instead of emparedado.
My brain autocorrects other people's farts. It can get awkward
Empanada is "in bread". Em like entomb + pan.
Emparedado is "in walls". Em like envelope + pared.
Anything between two slices of bread is a sandwich. A slice of bread between two slices of bread is a sandwich. It's a bread sandwich. Fry bread is bread. So, yes, empanadas are sandwiches.
What about one piece of bread hollowed?
No. No. Fuck no man.
