Chili Pork Empanadas with Avocado Dipping Sauce
Recipe courtesy Aaron McCargo Jr.
Serves:
4 servings
Ingredients
Empanadas:
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1/4 pound pork tenderloin, cut into small cubes
1 tablespoon chili powder
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
3 scallions, sliced
1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves
2 chipotles, diced
1 cup crumbled queso fresco
2 (9-inch) pie rounds
2 eggs, beaten
Avocado Dipping Sauce:
2 tablespoons butter
6 shallots, sliced
1 ripe avocado, halved, pitted and flesh chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup sour cream
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Add the oil to a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Season the pork with chili powder, salt and pepper, to taste, and quickly sear for 2 minutes. Remove from the pan to a bowl and cool slightly. Add the scallions, cilantro, chipotles and queso fresco and mix well.
Roll out the pie rounds on a lightly floured surface and using a 3-inch biscuit cutter, punch out rounds of dough. Put about 2 tablespoons of the filling, off-center, on each dough round. Brush the edges of the dough with beaten egg. Fold the dough over the filling and crimp the edges with a fork. Arrange them on a half sheet tray lined with parchment paper and brush the tops with remaining beaten egg. Bake until nicely browned, about 13 to 15 minutes. Remove the empanadas from the oven and arrange them on a platter. Serve with the dipping sauce.
Dipping Sauce:
In the same pan the pork was cooked in, add the butter. Turn the heat to high and add the shallots. Cook the shallots until nicely caramelized, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the shallots, avocado, olive oil, red wine vinegar and sour cream to a blender. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and puree until smooth and velvety. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with the empanadas.

About This Recipe
"I make this pizza for family reunions, and everyone loves it. I never bring home any left overs. My friend got me hooked on making these wonderful fresh fruit ideas and this one was the best."
Ingredients
1 (16 1/2 ounce) packages Pillsbury sugar cookie dough ( 1-2 packages. depends on how thick you want your crust to be, I use 2)
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese ( softened)
1 (8 ounce) containers Cool Whip ( thawed)
fresh fruit, any kind you may like ( i.e. kiwi, strawberries, grapes, oranges, bananas, etc.)
Directions
Cut sugar cookie dough into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
Lay it down on a greased pizza pan or rectangular pan.
Press dough till pressed together.
Bake in 350°F oven for 10 minutes or until brown.
Let it cool completely.
While baking your crust, get a large bowl and mix together sugar,vanilla,and cream cheese.
Fold in Cool Whip.
Spread mixture onto baked crust (that is completely cooled.) When spread on, cut up your fresh fruit and place onto your pizza.
Then put in refrigerator for an hour to chill.
Then your ready to eat and enjoy.
Another great and fun way to make this is using the rectangular pan is to use blueberries and strawberries to make an American flag.
Use the blueberries as stars and strawberries as stripes.
It is a big hit for the 4th of July parties.
Another extra is to sprinkle granola on to it or sliced almonds, for an extra taste.
