Ingredients

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, or as needed
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed

Tips:

Use ripe plantains: The riper the plantains, the sweeter and more flavorful the pastelillos will be.
Mash the plantains thoroughly: This will help to create a smooth and creamy filling.
Season the filling generously: Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the filling. This will help to bring out the flavor of the plantains.
Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of different cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and cream cheese, will give the pastelillos a rich and complex flavor.
Fry the pastelillos until they are golden brown: This will help to create a crispy exterior and a soft and gooey interior.
Serve the pastelillos with your favorite dipping sauce: A simple tomato sauce or a creamy avocado sauce are both great options.

Conclusion:

Pastelillos are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they are also a great way to use up leftover plantains. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of pastelillos that everyone will love.
