This is the best recipe of my various versions of my Puerto Rican Pasteles. There are many different ways of making pasteles; however, they all have one thing in common… they are as delicious as they are the most treasured Puerto Rican culinary. I keep my pasteles stuffing or meat very simple without undesirable surprises; not everyone likes raisins, chick peas, or fat; so I am keeping them out of my pasteles. However you can add those and other ingredients as you wish.

*Esta es la mejor receta de varias versiones de mis Pasteles puertorriqueños. Hay muchas diferentes maneras de hacer pasteles; pero, todas tienes algo en común… son todas deliciosas tanto como lo son un tesoro culinario puertorriqueño.
