Salteñas are a type of empanada found in Bolivia, and one of Bolivias most famous and beloved culinary exports. Like many such foodstuffs, the exact composition varies, but salteñas are generally notable for a few features: a sweet and spicy flavor, a more liquid-y filling than other empanadas, and a filling containing a wider variety of ingredients--sort of like a whole meal in a pocket, like a pot pie. A typical salteña might contain something like chicken, a whole hard-boiled egg, raisins, peas, carrots, potatoes, and olives, as an example. Vegetarian or vegan salteñas are less commonly found due to the relative lack of vegetarianism in Bolivia, but there is nothing in the definition of the dish that precludes a vegan salteña.

Salteñas are also a great option for a meal on a budget. You can often find them for $2 or $3 at local restaurants or food stands, and with their everything-but-the-kitchen-sink fillings and larger size, one or two can easily make a satisfying meal.
