Deep fried is the best, pan fried, pretty okay.  I wonder how they would come out in one of them new fangled air fryers.

I will give some a try this weekend!  Deep fried of course.....Everything tastes better deep fried!

 

 

Okay....I ran right out to Acme and bought a bunch of Goya stuff!

I got boxes of both chicken and the beef empanadas and a box of beef taquitos.  I deep fried the taquitos per the instructions and they were pretty good!  I deep fried both types of empanadas and quickly realized that was a mistake!  They are precooked and require about 45 seconds in the microwave. DO NOT DEEP FRY! The outer shell gets burned right away and the insides are still frozen!

Not nearly as much stuffing as the picture shows!  That's my review!

I don’t care for trump, but GOYA has donated millions of dollars worth of food during many different times of need, including food banks throughout the US as well as to Puerto Rico when hurricane Maria devastated the country. 

Goya is a great company!  They donated over 1.25 million pounds of food and water to be sent to Puerto Rico and Houston after hurricane Maria.  My National Guard unit has C-130s and we helped fly plane loads of their product out to both locations.

Your oil was too hot.  If you don't have one, look into candy thermometers.  That's what I use to regulate temp when deep frying.  I usually keep the oil around 325-350 depending on what I'm frying.  You are not making french fries, dial it down a few notches and I bet they come out way better.

I have 2 of these.  Cost about $100 each and super accurate but I was at around 380 degrees.

F**K Him.....Just ignore the troll! He will go against everything. The mods need to grow a pair and do some house cleaning!

They have plantains that are good too. We eat them. I will be buying more to support them.

 

Unfortunately, greendick’s parent’s failed at raising a decent human being!

Have you tried yuca ? A guy at work told about it. I’m still not sure what to think of yuca.

Yucas awesome, it's like a sweeter more flavorful potato. Yuka fries with some chipotle mayo and a squeeze of lime is all you need. 

Discussed this with the wife. Will now buy Goya brand for anything we would usually buy in another brand as a big FU to the boycotters.

Yeah, I’m not a huge fan of it, but my girlfriend loves it and gets it whenever we get Cuban food.

Easiest way to cook it is to roast it, cut similar size pieces about 3/4 an inch , roast at 425 until tender. For my favorite chipotle mayo roast /grill some a handful of scallions, a vidalia onion, add a nice squeeze of lime juice , then blend it all with a can of chipotles (goya brand). Mix it with some mayo to your level of desired spicyness and drizzle it on. If you're really feelihg your hispanic roots, mix in some chile powder with tomato sauce and drizzle that on top as well for a lazy mans papas bravas. 

I cut them in big wedges. Par boil in salted water them until the fork goes in half away. Drain them, toss them with a little olive oil and roast them until done and golden brown. Hold the pineapple.

Si es Goya, tiene que ser bueno!

I love Goya products, and have several of them as staples in my household. 
 

I have never looked into their politics...and I didn’t care (until now). They produce high quality products at a fair price.
 

There are several products they make that are on my ‘gotta try’ list, and I think this is the excuse to accelerate those plans. 

Goya really wasn't being political.

Nope - but of course the orange man bad crowd made it that way.

I still think  @silverado427 has been cheating this whole time with... empanadas. My theory

Cancel culture is the latest flavor of hypocrisy for tolerant liberals. It’s no longer enough to agree to disagree. Anyone who thinks differently must be destroyed. Companies closed, people put out of work, families made to starve. 
 

They are ardently begging for war. 

Shelves were almost empty of Goya products in the local Walmart. 

Not sure if the whiners are causing Walmart to pull Goya, or its the backlash of another insane boycott.  I was able to snag this, tho:
