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.
