Pastelillos ~ Vegan (Puerto Rican Meat/Cheese Turnovers)

Pastelillos ~ Vegan (Puerto Rican Meat/Cheese Turnovers)! These Pastelillos can be filled with several different fillings. You can make them from savory to even sweet. However, growing up we typically ate them with cheese or ground beef. So, this veganized version is made using Gardein Ground Crumbles and Violife Cheddar Cheese. Pastelillos can be fried in a deep fryer or in a pan. Pastelillos are overall so popular and typically the first thing to go at every event or family function. Enjoy! ~ Vegan, Egg-free, Dairy-Free, Plant-based. ~
