Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 2 tablespoons Red Gold® Red Gold Roasted Garlic Tomato Paste 6 oz

  • 1 can Red Gold® Original Diced Tomatoes + Green Chilies 10 oz, drained

  • 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped, divided
  • 1/4 cup green olives, pitted, thinly sliced
  • 1-2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten for egg wash
  • sesame seeds, for topping
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 ripe avocado, pitted and peeled

Instructions

Step one

Preheat the oven to 425°F.  Line a large baking pan with parchment paper. 

Step two

Brown the meat in the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. 

Step three

Add the finely diced yellow onion and bell pepper to sauté 3-4 minutes, until fragrant and tender. Stir in the ground cumin and tomato paste until well combined.

Step four

Add the drained diced tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of cilantro, and olives. Cook on medium heat for 5 minutes,  remove from heat to cool to room temperature.

Step five

Once cooled, lightly dust the prepared baking pan with flour. Add a thawed puff pastry, then gently roll out. Slice into 6 equal rectangles or squares.

Step six

Add 2-3 tablespoons of the picadillo on one end, then gently roll up the puff pastry to seal in the meat. Repeat with remaining puff pastry rectangles.  Brush each with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Step seven

Bake for 20-25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking, until deeply golden brown and flaky.

Step eight

While the puff pastry rolls cool for a few minutes, combine the remaining cilantro, sour cream, and avocado into a high speed blender, pulse until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step nine

Enjoy the picadillo puff pastry rolls warm with the cilantro avocado crema.
