Nutella Empanadas

These Nutella empanadas are hands down the best empanadas out there.

Pastelitos De Carne (Cuban Beef Pastry)

My favorite memories growing up are from when my grandfather would take us to the local bakery or when he would come home with a box filled with pastelitos de carne (Cuban beef pastry).
