Delicious cheesy beef pastelillos with green olives.
Cook beef on medium heat in medium sized pan until brown. Drain grease and discard.
Add Sazón packet, Sofrito, Adobo, and black pepper. (Optionally add 1/4 cup water and cook until evaporated. This helps mix in the spices a bit) and mix together well.
Add cheese and mix until melted. Mix in diced olives and remove from heat.
To assemble the pastelillos, separate one disco at a time (or do it assembly line for fun). Dip fingers in the cup of water, and wet the outer ring of the dough circle. Fill with a good amount bit of the beef mixture. Fold over the disco evenly and press firmly with fingers to seal. Press with a fork around the edge to help seal.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees about halfway through.
Set on a sprayed (foiled and sprayed works fine for easy cleanup) cookie sheet until all are built.
Lightly brush the tops of the pastelillos with olive oil, and bake for 15-25 minutes or until tops firm up.
Most recipes will fry these in oil, but I find them to be tasty and healthier baked.
Defrost the discos completely before starting. Putting in the olives too soon can make them too salty.
