Hi,
I remember these from Brasil. There, we called them pasteis, and they were small and half-circular, usually with some sort of meat in them. From wikipedia:
In Brazil there are two dishes that are similar to what are called empanadas in the rest of Latin America. Pastéis are fried turnovers filled with seasoned ground meat, shredded chicken, cheese, seasoned ground shrimp, hearts of palm, and various other fillings. Empadas are pies made with a rich buttery crust. A large empada often can serve as a main course, whereas small ones called empadinhas are often consumed as snacks. Common fillings for empadas and empadinhas include shredded chicken, hearts of palm, and shrimp. The fillings for empadas and empadinhas often contain olives and tomato sauce.

I look forward to sampling the Peruvian versions.

Your photos of the wide selection of empanadas strikes me in a way as what one might first take for the Dunkin' Donuts of Perú.

But I don't think DD delivers.

Cheers!
