La Empanadilla

Its original name is the empanada. The type of empanada and how is cooked depends on the region. There are several places where they made the empanada (Jamaica, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, etc.). The one typical from Puerto Rico is called "empanadilla", which refers to little empanada. It also known as pastelillo in and around the metropolitan area. The empanadilla is made of flour or cassava flour dough, lard and annatto powder. The empanadilla is filled with meat (chicken, picadillo, chorizo, turkey, etc), spinach, pigeon peas with coconut, cheese, or a combination, or cheese with fruit. Cassava empanadas are usually filled with seafood. They're very popular beach food and in Cuchifrito. Here is a picture:
