Tex-Mex turnover is a type of pastry that is popular in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine. It is made by folding a dough or bread-like pastry around a filling, usually savory, and then baking or deep-frying it. The most common filling is beef, but other fillings such as chicken, pork, cheese, and vegetables are also used. The empanada is a popular variation of the Tex-Mex turnover, which is usually filled with meat, cheese, or vegetables.
