In Brazil, there are street vendors and hole in the wall places that are really great. When I was there I ate these hand held foods called pastels. They can be either sweet or savory. I finally found a recipe that is soooo yum! This particular recipe is savory. If you would rather have one that is sweet, you can fill it with bananas, strawberries, chocolate, or anything that you desire that can be fried.

I "tweaked" it a little. I only use one green pepper and for the dough I use butter instead of shortening. Love. It!
Thanks for posting that recipe. These were super yummy
