CHIPOTLE RANCH DIP



Chipotle Ranch Dip image

I came up with a very quick, easy lower-in-fat dip or sauce to make with those leftover chipotle peppers. This dip combines the smoky chipotle with the great seasoning of ranch dressing mix. Makes a great veggie dip, or even a topping on hamburgers or Mexican foods. Chipotle peppers are very spicy; start with one and taste. Removing seeds will tone down the heat. I usually use 2 with seeds. You can also substitute low-fat Greek yogurt in place of the sour cream.

EMPANADAS WITH CHIPOTLE RANCH DIPPING SAUCE #RSC



Empanadas With Chipotle Ranch Dipping Sauce #RSC image

Ready, Set, Cook! Hidden Valley Contest Entry. I started making these empanadas when my children were very young and we were always on the go - from school to after school events, from the library to the ski hill, to long drives for family vacations; they are as easy to make as they are portable - a homemade meal, not junk or fast food. These empanadas are fragrant, moist, full of flavor and very adaptable to what you have on hand. We have found that they are just as good as a simple weeknight meal at the dinner table as they are on the fly.

Provided by Brianna Jenkins

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons chipotle chile powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 (4.5-ounce) cans mild chopped green chiles
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
3 packages empanada wrappers
Canola oil, for frying
Chimichurri Sauce, Serena Palumbo's recipe follows
2 lemons
1 bunch fresh cilantro, leaves roughly chopped, about 1 cup
1 bunch fresh parsley, leaves roughly chopped, about 3/4 cup
1 bunch fresh mint, leaves roughly chopped, about 3/4 cup
6 cloves garlic
Pinch kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
1/2 cup light olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and coat with the olive oil. Add the ground beef and break it up with a wooden spoon. Stir the beef and cook it until browned. Remove the beef from the pan to a dish. Drain all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the pan. Return the pan to the heat and add the onion, cooking until softened, about 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic, chile powder, cumin, and coriander and cook for 3 minutes. Add the ground beef back into the pan and stir to combine. Turn off the heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Stir in the green chiles and chopped egg.
  • Fill a small bowl with water.
  • Lay out a few of the empanada wrappers on a flat surface. Top the center of each wrapper with about 3 tablespoons of the beef filling. Dip your finger lightly in the water and run it along the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the beef, into a half moon shape and pinch it shut. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling ingredients.
  • Heat a deep saute pan over high heat and pour in enough canola oil to fill the pan halfway up the sides. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Fry the empanadas until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Be sure to flip them so they cook on both sides. Remove from the pan and drain them on paper towels. Transfer the empanadas to a serving platter and serve with the Chimichurri Sauce for dipping.
  • To make Chimichurri Sauce:
  • Grate 2 tablespoons of zest from the lemons and squeeze out 1/4 cup of juice. Add the zest and juice to a food processor or blender along with the cilantro, parsley, mint, garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, and olive oil. Pulse to blend the ingredients. If the sauce is too thick, add more oil and lemon juice. The sauce should be just thin enough to pour. Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl and serve with the empanadas.
  • Yield: about 2 cups

Tips:

  • For the best empanada dough, use a food processor to mix the ingredients until they just come together. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can mix the dough by hand. Just be sure to work it until it is smooth and elastic.
  • To prevent the empanadas from sticking to the pan, brush them with oil before baking.
  • Bake the empanadas at a high temperature (400 degrees F) so that they cook through quickly and the crust doesn't get too brown.
  • Serve the empanadas immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Empanadas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of fillings. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or a quick and easy meal. With a little planning, you can make empanadas ahead of time and freeze them, so they are always on hand when you need them. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting dish to try, give empanadas a try. You won't be disappointed!
