back home, we knew a lady who made the best empanadillas ever and served them to us with puerto rican rice. it was the best. I'll have to try this recipe now because I been craving them. thumbs up amiga!
Puerto Rican style empanadas were always my favorite. Haven’t had an empanada I didn’t like, but this is #1. I’m gonna be making these soon now. Thank you for your recipe.
I made your empanada recipe and so far its the best recipe that I have tried. My 2 year old grandson is a very picky eater and he loved them. Thank you for sharing, this recipe will be my staple when making empanadas
When me and my sister get together we use that dough and fill it with blocks of Guayaba y queso. I use that to dough fill it with picadillo- they are addicting! I can eat like 4 of them or maybe 5. I like how you describe your food at the end.
@@NataKnowsBest and then when we feel bad we also fill it with cream cheese and Guayaba. Lol And you are right about the color of that Goya dough- it has a nice ayote color. I love Goya grew up with it. When people were slamming Goya during the summer I bought tons of products and posted it - to show support.
WOW my mouth is watering!!😋I have not tried this recipe but it looks similar to Jamaican patties!! Im super excited to try this thanks so much for sharing!! 🤗
Hi Nata! Thank you for showing us the crust that you use and for the defrosting tips! I LOVE empanadas and these look really great! I love that you can put anything into them! Portion control...not my favorite thing to do...especially with such good food as your delicious empanadas!! Great video! 😊🌼🌷
Omg Natalie! I ❤️❤️ empanadas!! But was always afraid to try making them. Thanks for the great step by step instructions. I’m going to try them!! I really wanted to bite into one of those!!!
Puerto Rican food is jus the best!! I've eaten many empanadas but have yet to try to make my own...I loe your recipe so much! Your channel looks so fun and exciting and I love your food. Excited to be here with you 😊
These empanadillas look so amazing! I have them on my plan to make in the next few weeks, so I hope my version lives up to your standards. You have set the bar! ;) Wonderful recipe...thanks for sharing! Take Care!
@@NataKnowsBest Well I did have a few disasters on the first few attempts, when I was trying to do a nice repulgue. Now I just stick to the fork method ;)
Yummo! Who doesn’t love a snack? Love that you used premade dough. In Australia, I haven’t noticed this in the supermarket unfortunately. Would you have a go to dough recipe that you’ll share in the future?
Everyone loves snacks! The dough is usually in the frozen aisle, however a simple empanada dough you can make is: 2 1/3 cups of flour (sifted), 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2/3 cup of boiling hot water and a pinch of salt. In a bowl, whisk dry ingredients, mix oil and slowly add hot water. Mix until you have a smooth ball of dough. Rest in fridge for 30 minutes before assembling.
My Hubs is P.R. and hes always wanting me to make pastelon and these meat pies. I dont know anything about PR cooking (mexican!) but i was wondering if I could make a version incorpoating both flavors of these dishes since i hate cooking large dishes made in one pan in the oven, lol. I was thinking of adding a slice of fried plantain inside the meat pie. Im gonna try it this week, ill update if its a hit or fail!
Love this! My mama is Mexican and we would always have Empanadas this time of year. They were always sweet with pumpkin or apples, but I have to try the meat filled version. These looked 🤤. New sub! 🔔
I've heard of empanadas and I REALLY want them now! Looks much easier than I would have imagined! The presentation is outstanding here! Terrific recipe once again, I can't wait to see more! Keep going!
I am a Boriqua from Brooklyn NY living in Minnesota and I haven’t been able to find the Goya discs. What can I use for the dough?! I’ve been dying to make empanadas
Hi 🙂 in a situation like that I would recommend making your own dough. A simple recipe would be 2 cups of flour, 1 stick of butter, 1 egg, pinch of salt and 1/4 cup water.
Babe I love ur empanadillas but we make it d carne molia d pollo camarones jueyes carucho etc...I love the way q tu hases las empanadillas big time and by the way u gorgeous
Only mistake you made was frying them in oil and not manteca. Frying them in lard adds a whole new dimension of flavor and the dough ends up with a much better fried consistency.
Yes! I know, but in U.S mainland many Latinos refer to them as empanadas since it's the general term most Latin American countries use. This recipe is for those on the U.S mainland 😊. Thanks for watching!

Spanish invented empanadas

I agree! I can't wait for you to try
I love making empanadas. It's calming to me. My delicious hobby
I can totally agree with this. It's like therapy!
I’ve been making the Puerto Rican style it my fave! I add olives, my Haitain epis and a little cheese! So 😋
Ooo Haitain epis in these empanadas sounds delicious!
@@NataKnowsBest it’s literally the same as your sofrito, we use parsley instead of cilantro
Looks so yummy thanks for sharing

Excellente
Yummy....put olives and mozzarella cheese.
Mozzarella cheese sounds delicious 😋
I'm curious, do you ever show how you make the actual dough for them?
Thank u
NATA Know BEST 🇵🇷🇵🇷 cooking 🧑🍳
THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 AMAZING E, DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME
Can this be cooked in the oven?
Of course. I recommend baking these at 375 degrees for about 25-35 minutes
@@NataKnowsBest how come you don't make videos anymore??? I like your videos....I hope your ok and dont stop your channel.
So you pre cook potatoes before right?
I recommend chopping the potatoes in small cubes and adding them in as the picadillo simmers. They cook pretty quickly when they are in small cubes.
@@NataKnowsBest THANKS SO MUCH!!!
I add green salad olives, and garbanzos.
People in the north don't even know about the empanadas game like this. These look amazing.
I can't imagine a life without them 😩
Really cause I'm from the north and grew up with these, my family is from P.R 🤷💅
O my god I did them and added 2 fresh ingredients onions and fresh garlic they came out so delicious my kids and family love them ❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
😊
Keep doing your thing queen. Please make more videos
En PR son empanadillas o pastelillos, empanada es LA carne en harina.
En la isla si, pero en E.U muchos latinos reconocen el término empanada como las empanadillas de PR.
🤤🤤🤤
You already know 🤪
Babe I love ur empanadillas but we make it d carne molia d pollo camarones jueyes carucho etc...I love the way q tu hases las empanadillas big time and by the way u gorgeous
Thanks for watching! 💚
Only mistake you made was frying them in oil and not manteca. Frying them in lard adds a whole new dimension of flavor and the dough ends up with a much better fried consistency.
That sounds delicious! I agree manteca gives them a great flavor.

In Puerto Rico is empanadillas, not empanadas.
Yes! I know, but in U.S mainland many Latinos refer to them as empanadas since it's the general term most Latin American countries use.
This recipe is for those on the U.S mainland 😊. Thanks for watching!
Oh I understand. It’s looks delicious 😊😋
You are so worried about your nails, you can't make dough yourself?
I provided instructions for scratch made empanada dough in the link. Seems like you're too worried about unnecessary things.
