  • Welcome to my kitchen! In this video, I'll show you how to make delicious Puerto Rican empanadillas using store-bought Goya discs.
    For the filling, I'll be making a flavorful picadillo with ground turkey, sofrito, tomato sauce, olives, and cheese. However, feel free to use any filling you prefer - from chicken to vegetables!
    I'll then demonstrate how to assemble the empanadillas using the pre-made Goya discs, including how to add the filling and fold the discs into that classic empanadilla shape.
    Finally, we'll fry the empanadillas until they're crispy and golden brown. I'll also provide you with some tips and tricks to ensure your empanadillas turn out perfect every time.
    Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner, you'll love making these flavorful and convenient Puerto Rican empanadillas. So, let's get started - ¡buen provecho!

    Hello Mari. Here in NYC we call them Pastelillos. Yours looks so delicious just how I like them. I'm not PR but my daughter makes them just like the local bodega does with the picadillo being a bit drier. One of my favorite snacks next to the stuffed potato balls (Rellenos de Papas). Thanks for sharing😋🥰

    I'm so glad i found your channel. New subscriber and I'm ashamed to say I'm such an americanized Puerto Rican that i havent made these delicious dishes for my kids. But definitely changing that going forward because i loved my mas and my grandmas dishes. Just wondering, have you ever made gandinga? May have mispelled that but its something my ma used to make as well. Also Morcilla? Again with the spelling 😅 Anyway can't wait to try these pastelillos (Chicago def calls them Pastelillos in Humboldt Park 😉). Thanks so much for all your recipes and great instruction! God Bless!

      Hi there! 🤗 So, I’ve never been big on the more country meals that involve the organs, but that’s just me! However, morcillas I don’t mind but have yet to make them! Also, don’t be ashamed. We have no control over where we were born or how we grew up! The best part is that it’s never too late to tap into your roots! 🙏🏽❤️
