 * Salteñas**

Salteñas are a type of empanada that are sold everywhere in Bolivia. Salteñas originated in Bolivia but are however found in many other countries as well.(2)

Salteñas are pockets of pastry filled with beef or chicken, peas, potatoes, onions, olives, raisins, and an egg. This is the traditional way to prepare a salteña however ingredients can be changed around to create other recipes.(1) You can find salteñas anywhere in Bolivia but the best claimed spot to find them is at the capital. They serve them any time from 7 am to noon. They are typically purchased between 9 and 10 for a mid morning snack and always sell out really fast.(1)
