Cooking InstructionsHide images

step 1

Into a pot, add Ground Beef (2 lb). Season with Sofrito Sauce (3 Tbsp), Adobo Seasoning (1/2 Tbsp), and Goya® Sazon con Culantro y Achiote (1 pckg). Cook until beef is browned.

step 2

Add Red Bell Pepper (1/2), Green Bell Pepper (1/2), and Onion (1/2). Stir to combine.

step 3

Add Tomato Sauce (1 cup) and Potato (1). Stir. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, until potatoes are tender.

step 4

Drain the liquid from the beef and vegetable mixture. Scoop spoonfuls into the center of each piece of Pastry Dough (8)

step 5

Fold the dough in half. Using a fork, press around the edges to seal. Flip and press the edges of the other side.

step 6

Into a pan, add about an inch of Cooking Oil (as needed). Once hot, add the pastelillos. Fry in batches of 2 for about 2 1/2 minutes per side, until deep golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess oil.

step 7

Serve warm and enjoy!
