About ELOTE-INSPIRED MINI EMPANADAS, ELOTE-INSPIRED

Good & Gather Elote-Inspired Mini Empanadas are a frozen appetizer from Target's Good & Gather premium brand in the frozen appetizers and hors d'oeuvres category. Empanadas are pastry pockets filled with savory or sweet ingredients, here reimagined with the elote (Mexican street corn) flavor profile — corn, cheese, lime, cilantro, and chili.

The pastry uses enriched wheat flour. The corn filling includes cream cheese, mayonnaise-type dressing (canola oil, egg yolk, mustard flour), sour cream, Parmesan cheese, cilantro, garlic puree, chipotle-seasoned tomato paste, and aromatic spices including cumin, chili powder, and oregano. Brown sugar adds a subtle sweetness. Lime juice concentrate and white vinegar provide acidity. Modified corn starch thickens the filling. Honey contributes natural sweetness. Natamycin in the Parmesan is a natural mold inhibitor.

Allergens: wheat (flour), dairy (cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan), eggs (mayonnaise-type dressing egg yolk). Mustard flour is present — a common allergen in the EU/Canada, not US-designated. No soy explicitly listed; canola oil is soy-free. No tree nuts or peanuts.

Nutrition per 100 g: 288 calories, 7.5 g protein, 15 g fat, 32.5 g carbohydrates, 2.5 g fiber. An 80 g serving delivers approximately 230 calories. These mini empanadas are best baked or air-fried from frozen for a crispy pastry exterior. The combination of corn sweetness, cheese richness, and chili heat creates a complex appetizer flavor profile suited for entertaining or as a satisfying snack.
