Spanish and italians, since it sounds very similar to italian. "Impanata":
dipped in breadcrumbs (pane = bread), almost the same sintactical structure,
just change "en" to "im", maybe some "d" to "t", and you're there.

Of course,

fry quickly in hot oil to soften & coat the tortilla,
Coat with sauce (dip into a saucepan with sauce)
Fill
bake. (restaurant salamander)

Dimitri,

You're a skilled chef. I tend to lean on Trader Joe's, etc., a lot.

The enchilada segment was another one of those assembly line exposés.

Best,

Andy

Empanadas?

That would be the perfect literal translation of the word "impanata" from
italian to spanish. Then the actual meaning of the two words is different:
impanata in italian is the past particplie of "impanare", which means "to
cover with breadrumbs", while empanada in spanish indicates a particular
recipe with the usual local variants. I see that argentinian empanadas are
very similar to the southern italian street foods calzone and panzerotto,
the main difference is in the "staple" ingredients in the filling: for
empanadas it's meat, for calzone and panzerotto it's tomato + mozzarella,
apart some local variants.

Nope I just used to watch Lupe (our servant) in Mexico City when she used to
make them. Our favorite at the time Enchiladas' Suisas.

The Kitchen was where I learned to speak Spanish - No Spanish - No food.

Etymologically, "empanada" means "breaded"; "en croute". The usual
translation from Spanish is "pie" (or "patty" or "turnover" or
"fraud").

I would think that it would be instantly obvious to anyone who saw the
word.
