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

Add Red Bell Pepper (1/2), Green Bell Pepper (1/2), and Onion (1/2). Stir to combine.
3.
Add Tomato Sauce (1 cup) and Potato (1). Stir. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, until potatoes are tender.

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

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.
