In Puerto Rico we have a dilemma only the north part of the island call these pastelillos the rest of the island call them empanadillas. Pastelillos are pastry dough treats usually sweet and sold at local bakerys sometimes you get them filled with meat but the shapes are square or round and oven made. Empanadillas are made with normal flour dough and can be folded or pressed with fork or a clamp then deep fried Just like yours. Either way , Good job making them.

[@maryjackson8524]

How much rice to water you put in.

[@helenegarette6116]

How many cups of rice and what kind of rice did you use?

[@heatherrodriguezzz]

I use between 4-5 cups of rice && I use medium grain rice 😊

[@lrp6525]

Do you ever bake your pastelillos?

[@heatherrodriguezzz]

I’ve never baked mine. I’ve only fried them or made them in the air fryer && both ways are delish! 😊

[@kaylaaparicio4840]

What kind of red peppers did you use in the rice? Is it like red bell pepper and is it fresh? Or what did you use?

[@heatherrodriguezzz]

You could fresh red bell pepper if you’d like.. in this video I used the jar sliced red pimientos 😊

[@BoricuaHaze28]

It's roasted red peppers. They come in a glass jar.

[@Brown_Buffalo]

I would have put the juice from the meat into the rice

[@heatherrodriguezzz]

That could be an option if you’d like.. but that would take from the authentic flavor of the rice 😊

[@38SUPERDURANGO]

Is there a particular brand of rice and size of rice to use? And how much rice did you use on that pot?

[@heatherrodriguezzz]

Any medium grain rice will do and I use about 4-5 cups of rice for this size pot. 😊

[@38SUPERDURANGO]

@@heatherrodriguezzz thank you so much for replying fast. I will definetly be following your recipes.

[@heatherrodriguezzz]

Awesome! Lmk how they turn out for you. 😃

[@38SUPERDURANGO]

@@heatherrodriguezzz rice came out awesome. I knew just by the look of it on your video it was authentic Puerto Rican rice. Thanks again.

[@heatherrodriguezzz]

Wonderful!! I’m glad it turned out great for you!!

[@belizeanprincessAri]

Where's Tony's ?? Asking about the sofrito...

[@heatherrodriguezzz]

Tony’s is a grocery store here in the Chicagoland area 😊

[@belizeanprincessAri]

@@heatherrodriguezzz thanks, I cooked it today and I added too much adobo. It was too salty. I guess my 'eyeballs' were off badly. Lol. I'll try again in a week or so. Thanks 😊

[@heatherrodriguezzz]

Awww yayyy for making it tho!! That’s awesome!! I always suggest starting with little and if it needs more salt you can always add more but remember you can never take out if you put too much.. lmk how it goes next time 😊

[@belizeanprincessAri]

@@heatherrodriguezzz Thanks, trying the arroz con gandules tomorrow. Pray 🙏 for me. Lol.

[@heatherrodriguezzz]

@@belizeanprincessAri you’ll do great! Just remember “you can always add more salt later, but can never take any out”.. with the sazon & adobo be light handed if you’re not sure.. you could also taste the liquid before you put your rice to simmer to see if it needs anything else 😃

[@jassidykaawa1604]

What store do u buy the dough

[@heatherrodriguezzz]

They can be purchased at Walmart 😊

[@annakquinn7084]

Empanadillas

[@heatherrodriguezzz]

The beauty of the many different cultures is the many ways to say what something is. My husband is Puerto Rican and what me as half Mexican would call an empanada, he calls a pastelillo ☺️ thanks for the view!

[@annakquinn7084]

@@heatherrodriguezzz if you are going to called it Puerto Rican food, you have to use the correct term. It’s an Empanadilla, the Pastelillo is made from hojaldre. It’s a dish inherited from Spain. The objective is to educate people, not confuse them.

[@heatherrodriguezzz]

Actually the objective with my video is to show people how to make Puerto Rican food and my Puerto Rican husband and all his Puerto Rican family call these, Pastelillos. Again, isn’t that the beauty of many different cultures.. ☺️

[@annakquinn7084]

@@heatherrodriguezzz they are wrong, it’s beautiful when people respect the culture using the correct term. Empanadilla, because pastelillo is made from hojaldre. You are welcome.

[@heatherrodriguezzz]

@AnnaKQuinn so ALL of my husbands entire Puerto Rican family ( & it’s a big one) are wrong when they say pastelillo? 😅 ok! Actually respect all around is beautiful! So the proper way to comment could’ve been something like, “hey in my culture they call those this or I’ve heard people in other cultures call those this” not come onto MY video and out of the many views it has be the only one telling me that my Puerto Rican husband and his family are wrong for how they speak and have spoken their whole lives.. but, nonetheless, thanks for the view! You have a blessed day now ☺️

[@saneebangura4701]

This music gotta go but good video!

[@heatherrodriguezzz]

To me, the music is good 😌 but thanks for watching 👍🏻 😊

[@BrolyTheSaiyanofLegend]

im not going to lie - the way pastelilos was pronounced bothered me a little lol-

[@heatherrodriguezzz]

Hehe that’s funny 🙃

[@BrolyTheSaiyanofLegend]

@@heatherrodriguezzz sorry if you're offended thats not what i meant for lol -

[@heatherrodriguezzz]

Lol nooo worries here... I know there’s definitely some words that sound funny to pronounce for sure 😂

[@BrolyTheSaiyanofLegend]

@@heatherrodriguezzz yeah and some others pronounced it differently as well - lol looks delicious though :)

[@BrolyTheSaiyanofLegend]

pronounce* all depends on where you're from
