Milanesa (Breaded Cutlet)

Thin-pounded meat in a garlicky, parsley-flecked breadcrumb crust, shallow-fried until crisp — Argentina's beloved cutlet. The most-loved version, napolitana, is topped with tomato sauce, ham, and melted cheese, served with fries or rice for a hearty meal.

Empanada (Stuffed Pastry)

A stuffed pastry of dough folded around minced beef, onion, egg, and olives, then baked (or fried). Rooted in Spain but most famous as Argentina's national snack. The hand-twisted edge ('repulgue') is its signature, and the crimp pattern marks the filling.
