- 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and diced
- 2 tablespoons Red Gold Roasted Garlic Tomato Paste
- 1 (10 ounce) can Red Gold Original Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies, drained
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup pitted green olives, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, divided
- 1 cup sour cream

Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
Brown the meat in the olive oil over medium high heat. Season with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Add the finely diced yellow onion and bell pepper to saute 3-4 minutes, until fragrant and tender.
Step 4
Stir in the ground cumin and tomato paste until well combined.
Step 5
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 6
Once cooled, lightly dust the prepared baking pan with flour. Add the thawed puff pastry, then gently roll out. Slice into 6 equal rectangles or squares.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Brush each with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Step 9
Bake for 20-25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking, until deeply golden brown and flaky.
Step 10
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 11
Enjoy the picadillo puff pastry rolls warm with the cilantro avocado crema .
