Claudia Urrea demonstrates how to make an empanada at My Empanada in Henrico, VA on January 3, 2023. Urrea and her husband Juan started My Empanada as a way to share their Columbian culture in 2016, selling from a small storefront, and during the Covid-19 pandemic they focused on farmer’s markets and online sales. They have now expanded their location at 1421 Blue Jay Lane in Tuckahoe to include a storefront with seating, beverages, smoothies, desserts, and plenty of empanadas. EVA RUSSO/TIMES-DISPATCH
