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. ~

Jerk Cabbage ~ Vegan
Jerk Cabbage ~ Vegan! This Vegan Jerk Cabbage recipe has Caribbean flavors all throughout. I infused Puerto Rican flavors from the Sofrito with the Jamaican flavors of jerk seasonings. The Jerk Seasoning includes Thyme, Turmeric, Ginger, Allspice, and peppers. This Jerk Cabbage came out perfectly seasoned and balanced. I typically have Sofrito in the refrigerator, which is why I used it for this recipe. Enjoy! ~ Vegan, Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Plant-based, Soy-free ~
Rellenos de Papa (Puerto Rican Potato Croquettes)
Rellenos de Papa (Puerto Rican Potato Croquettes)! Also known as Papas Rellenas! Frituras Boricuas… Mmm. Every cultural dish I create has such a nostalgic place in my heart. Certain recipes allow me to feel closer to my family…and roots. These are frituras and traditionally deep fried. For this recipe, I also created an air fried version. We LOVE the air fried version! They came out fluffy and so creamy. I certainly hope you try these vegan Rellenos de Papa, truly a taste of Puerto Rico. Enjoy! ~ Vegan, Plant-based, Dairy-free; Egg-free ~
