QUESITOS (PUERTO RICAN CHEESE-STUFFED PUFF PASTRY)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cut cream cheese into 1/4-inch thick slices; place cut side-down on a board and cut into logs.
• Place 1 cup sugar into a small bowl; place cream cheese logs into sugar and roll to coat. Set aside.
• Cut each puff pastry sheet evenly into 3 to 4 squares, no bigger than 5 to 6 inches each. Place 1 square in front of you with 1 corner pointing down. Place 1 sugar-covered cheese log about 1/3 up from the bottom corner; proceed to fold pastry around it in the same manner as an egg roll, with the bottom corner over cheese, side corners towards the center, then roll from bottom, up. Brush some water in the last corner to seal roll.
• Place quesito on the prepared pan, seam-side down. Repeat with all squares, making sure there is at least 1-inch between them.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Brush tops with corn syrup.

QUESARITOS

Steps:

• Chop the onion, peppers, and broccoli into small pieces.
• Fry the onion and vegetables in a large frying pan, adding salt, pepper, and oregano.
• Add in the ground beef, and fry until the beef is well-cooked.
• Chop the tomatoes, and add, along with the spaghetti sauce.
• Continue to simmer 20-30 minutes, until the liquid has mostly boiled off. It should not be at all runny, or else the end product will be very messy.
• Now brush one side of a tortilla with olive oil, and fry for a couple minutes, oil side down; remove.
• Then take another tortilla, brush it with olive oil, and place on frying pan. Sprinkle half the cheese and sour cream evenly (not too close to the sides), and then spread half the sauce and rice, again not too close to the edge, about 1/4-1/2" thick.
• Place the already baked tortilla on top, and fry for a few minutes.
• Remove, cut into quarters, and do the same for the other two tortillas.
