Taco Empanadas

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups flour (save a little for kneading)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoons butter
  • for this recipe I would add 1 table spoon of the  taco seasoning to the dough

Filling:

  • 1/2 lb hamburger
  • 1 package taco seasoning
  • cilantro
  • 1 small onion
  • 2 couple of fresh tomatoes or a can of salsa, which ever you have on hand. I use these to cook the hamburger if it needs some liquid.
  • Jalapeno slices

Directions:
In a bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Cut in the butter.

Add the water, and egg mix until stiff

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until all flour has been incorporated into the dough and the dough is smooth.

Place the dough in plastic wrap or baggie and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Roll the dough out on a lightly flouring surface as thin as you can get it without tearing apart .

Cut out round circles about 5 inches in diameter. I use a good size cup.

Filling:

Add all the ingredients for filling and cook until hamburger meat is brown.

Take the dough cut outs and add filling and your favorite cheese. Add a slice of Jalapeno and close it up

Coat edges of dough with cold water and press together. Bush egg on top and place on baking dish.

Bake at 375°F for 15-20 minutes.

Scrub potato. Take a fork and make holes with prongs on all sides. Rub potato with oil. wrap in foil. Bake for about 1 1/2 hours until potato is tender inside.

While the potatoes are cooking saute the onions and sausage. I saute mine with fresh tomatoes instead of oil.

After potato has cooled slice in half the long way. Take most of the potato out of the skin. Be careful not to break it. Take the potato, sour cream, butter,  and milk and whip until creamy. Add white pepper and chicken bouillon. Place mixture back inside the potato. Top with roasted garlic, Italian sausage and sauteed onion. Finish it with grated cheese. Add Jalapeno pepper, hot sauce or crushed red pepper and you have a meal.
