"We can't talk about the iconic guava-and-cheese pairing without highlighting on of the pastries that celebrate it best: pastelillos. The Puerto Rican equivalent of a turnover, these pastelillos rely on storebought puff pastry to achieve that flaky crust that distinguishes them from their counterpart, the empanada." Comment from Food Network
These Guava Cheese Turnovers, like the guava empanadas, bring back childhood memories of a visit to a cuban restaurant in Ybor City where we would go to get a cuban sandwich followed by a Guava Cheese Turnover or empanada. These visits bring back wonderful memories and I still enjoy these turnovers when I visit a cuban restaurant or bakery. So happy to have the recipe to make at home.
