[Brittanyuh]

Making them now...I sub and added a few things..so we will see how they come out!!! Thanks

[takm3der4amin]

Just what im lookin for a women that loves to cook and look good with out makeup and also nice tattoos.

[ItsMeFawn]

Try using ground chicken in the future April it works very well. I make similar dish using ground turkey.

When doing the ground chicken, add some bread crumbs and one egg.when u season the meat and let it rest over night before making the Empandas.

[MszPrincess17]

i like the videooo and it is alsoo called for us dominicans PASTELITOS

[TheMami2thick]

love the videos and love shopping at Priceright :)

[polkjones77]

OK, I will definitely be making these on Friday night.

[futnyors]

I made your version of these....they were good. Thanks

[phoenix9ty]

that was a good and quick video. most of those items can easily be found. That is a plus. Also that looks really good.

[emiilysofly]

AAAAHH UR THE BEST

[Napierbaby1]

looks good, but i hope you realize that adobo and seasoned salt are essentially the same thing.

[smt203]

Where did you find the liquido sazon? I can 't find it in my local grocery stores

[princsann]

ilove cooking videoss!

you really should do more of them your great[=

[smt203]

[kandeeapplegirl]

[portermommie]

Hey Miss Lady, I had to thank you for this recipe, I made this for the fam and they loved them, My Husband loved the chicken ones and I loved the hamburger ones. Thanks again

[spritzfire009]

goya products are gud..jus sum are real salty...this is a dish ima try..but i may use thinly sliced flank steak...and sum mexican cheese..dag i want sum!!

[relaximdointhis]

OOOOOOOH girl that sounds like a bomb ass idea!!!!

[JAMERICANBORN]

@spritzfire009 Yes they are very salty you have to use them sparingly and go heavy on the other seasonings that don't have any sodium in them.

[sweetalicious2008]

April!!!!...I love you Mama..You are so real and down to earth, I feel like i've know you for years!!! I'm going to hook this up..being from a Jamaican background I need a change in food LOL..My kids are like "Mom make that please" haha. God bless you and your family sweetie and keep being you. Know you got fam in Canada, Love you Divaaaaaa.

[hourglas39]

Hey April, can you bake the pies as well instead of frying them ?

[caramel599]

Hey Diva! I just made this dish today for my honey and I must say he and I both LOVED IT! The only thing I could not find was the liquido saizon by Goya but I used regular Sazon and it was still awesome! I love all your videos and just think you are so real! Smooches!!

[spicedmama]

Just went to the Goya website, (I google everything, lol), and they have a Goya online e-store. I just may be in bizness!!! Our local stores do sell Goya, but I have never seen the shells/pastries before, (not that I was looking). Anyway, those whose cities/towns don't sell a lot of Goya, check out their e-store! Keep up the good work, April!!!

[spicedmama]

Looks easy, and good. I have to find the shells. I live in N.C. so may be a challenge to find the Goya, but I will take a look. I think my kids will love it.

[mekaziona]

oh those are good. I usually buy them at the flea market.I'm gonna try this recipe,it looks yummy.Thanks for the video.

You should have a Diva gathering. I'd pay to come hang out with you for the afternoon. Shoot I'll cook. I know BlackOnyx just had one in Florida. I think that would be so hot.

[yagurlnell]

Love those April. My boyfriend, who's dominican, taught me how to make these...and just a friendly hint, when rolling those bad boys, throw a little corn starch or flour down. It makes it less sticky and you can roll sooo much faster. Love this tho...makin me hungry lol :o) work!

[msjoanne305]

LOL I couldnt stop laughing at the way you pronounce "PASTELITOS" LOL at first I was like "what is she calling them??" then it hit me.....They look good though.....for a my mother usually makes the dough from scratch, and the ground meat, she adds corn, carrots, and peas to it!

[muffinismylovers]

LOL you should have heard how many times my sons girldriend was telling me how to say it LOL how come on the packet it is spelled different from the way you spelled it or some of my hispanic Divas spelled it, and then the Goya packet has it called Para Empanadas has me all confused I did not know what to call it but I love making them LOL

[eyeseekmakeup]

You shouldnt flatten them out really or else they will break apart very easily when you frying them. I make these alll the time when i get my whole family together for some early dinner

[muffinismylovers]
