Easy Empanada
Filling:
1 1/2 cups chicken cooked and shredded
1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon Pepper
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Salt
10 dashes Chipotle hot sauce
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
2 ounces reduced fat cream cheese (neuftachel), room temperature
Dough
Pie Crust
All purpose flour
2 Tablespoons Milk
Chipotle Dipping Sauce
4 oz sour cream
10-15 dashes Chipotle hot sauce (depending on your spice tolerance)
1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
Pepper to taste
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Directions:
- Mix the filling ingredients in one bowl.
- Roll out pie dough on a lightly floured surface. Use a 4 inch cookie or biscuit cutter. If you don't have that, use a glass. Cut out 12-16 pie crust rounds. Place on a baking tray lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- RDtip: Use a 1 Tablespoon scoop to put filling into each pie round. Be careful not to over-stuff the empanada.
- Fold each piece of dough in half to make the circles into semi-circles. Use a fork to crimp the edges closed.
- Brush each empanada with milk to help it brown.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes on 400*F until the pie dough is crisp and golden brown.
- Mix all ingredients for the dipping sauce.
- Enjoy!
