Ingredients
- 2/3 cup finely chopped cooked chicken
- 1/3 cup finely shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 tablespoons finely chopped chipotle pepper
- 1 teaspoon adobo sauce (from 7 ounce can chipotle chilies in adobo sauce)
- 2 tablespoons taco sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 14.1 ounce package refrigerated pie crust dough
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2/3 cup Daisy Sour Cream
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Move the oven rack to the center position.
- Mix the chicken, cheese, chiles, adobo sauce, taco sauce and chopped cilantro in medium bowl.
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll out one pie crust to a 12-inch circle. Using a 3-inch round cutter, cut out 15 circles.
- Using half the chicken mixture, place 1 slightly rounded teaspoon mixture in center of each circle. Brush the outside edges lightly with the egg. Fold over to make half-moons and pinch the edges to seal.
- Place the empanadas 1-inch apart on a large ungreased cookie sheet. Press around sealed edges with a fork. Prick the tops with a fork and brush with the egg. Bake in the center of the oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
- Meanwhile, using the remaining pie crust and chicken mixture and cheese, prepare the remaining appetizers. Place the second batch of empanadas on another cookie sheet. Bake as directed above.
- Mix the sour cream and garlic powder in small bowl. Serve the empanadas with a dollop of the sour cream mixture.
