Main ingredientsPuff pastry, sweet or savoury filling

Cuban pastries (known in Spanish as pasteles or pastelitos) are baked puff pastry–type pastries filled with sweet or savory fillings.[1]

Traditional fillings include

spicy meat, made in a tomato-based sauce. It is typical to include raisins and green olives
as part of the meat filling. It is also typical for a sweet glaze to be applied to the top of even savory fillings.

The pastries are typically consumed at any time as a snack. In Miami, one can find many "window cafeterias" with customers having a pastelito with coffee throughout the day.

They can be found at many Hispanic cafeterias and have also been introduced into the American retail market by Goya Foods. The pastries are also available in wholesale for the foodservice industry by several companies, including Hispanic wholesale frozen bakery manufacturer Latin Flavors.
