You’re reading mitú right now, so you’re obviously aware that really, every single day is National Empanada Day. Whether your personally prefer the kind from Argentina, Venezuela, Chile or elsewhere, you can’t deny these make the perfect snack, meal or dessert. (Just don’t ever call them “hand pies,” fools.)

Enough talk. Let’s celebrate empanadas with a little food porn:

If you have a classic empanada de carne, take it to the next level with salsa de tomate:

But be sure to balance your healthy foods (like sweet potato) with chocolate. It’s only right:

Strawberry + rosemary = new spin on dessert empanadas:

And the filling is…you may have seen me share as I made these empanadas earlier in the week but I kept the filling secret until now: these rosemary-infused strawberry empanadas are so delicious! The perfect fruity treat, with a wonderful aromatic undertone. And chocolate chips if you fancy (which I did). And you have the perfect excuse as today is #NationalEmpanadaDay ! #food #foodpic #foodphotography #strawberry #eeeeeats #nomnom #huffposttaste #instafood #foodgawker #feedfeed @thefeedfeed #foodgasm #f52grams #yahoofood #buzzfeast #tastespotting #gloobyfood #foodie #todayfoodclub #empanada #cincodemayo

Because the only thing better than cheese is MORE CHEESE:

You can even get creative with the outside and add things like sesame and poppy seeds for extra crunch and flavor:
