Empanadas de yuca or Puerto Rican cassava patties are filled with savory picadillo meat, wrapped in banana leaves, and baked in the oven. 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.

These Cholula Hot and Sweet chicken wings are insanely delicious. They have just the right balance of spicy and sweet with a combination of Cholula hot sauce and honey.

Serve these delicious buffalo chicken empanadas on game day or at your next event and become the host with the most!

This smash burger jibarito is insanely delicious! I somehow managed to recreate the viral smash burger taco and make it even better! Instead of using a flour tortilla I used tostones. The result is a sandwich that gives jibarito, smash burger and big mac all in one! It’s mind-blowing!
