Empanadillas or Puerto Rican empanadas are fried turnovers stuffed with savory picadillo. These delicious appetizers are also known as pastelillos. Although they are typically made with picadillo, they can be stuffed with your filling of choice. Some popular varieties include chicken, shrimp, and crab. Empanadillas can also be served as dessert. I love sweet versions like guava and cheese, topped with a dusting of powdered sugar.

They are similar to pasteles de yuca, only they are baked and not boiled. The texture of these delicious empanadas is soft and pillowy and they come together more easily than pasteles, since you don’t have to tie them with twine.
