EMPANADAS WITH CHIPOTLE RANCH DIPPING SAUCE #RSC

Steps:

• Make the Chipotle Ranch Dipping Sauce: Chop 2 tbs. shallots and 1 clove garlic in a small food processor for a few seconds. Add a chipotle pepper and 1 tbs. of the adobo sauce and process for about 30 seconds. Add Hidden Valley Original Ranch Dressing, Greek Yogurt and the zest and juice of a lime. Process until smooth. Remove to a bowl and stir in 2 tbs fresh chives. A quick garnish of chives before serving looks great!
• Bring a small pot of water to the boil and cook diced potatoes until tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. Drain.
• Brown ground pork in a pan over medium high heat. Drain the meat and toss in a bowl with the Hidden Valley Original Ranch Seasoning Mix.
• Heat the Olive Oil in the same pan, add 2 tbs shallots and 2 tbs chopped garlic and saute for a minute. Puree a chipotle pepper with 1 tbs. adobo sauce (add a little water if needed) in a small food processor and add to the shallot mixture in the pan along with the tomato paste, corn kernels, potatoes, oregano, cooked pork and water. Cook until all ingredients are well mixed and liquid is almost evaporated. Stir in 2 tbs fresh chives and season with salt and pepper.
• Roll out pizza dough and cut into 5-inch rounds. Place 2 heaping tablespoons of meat mixture in the center of each dough round and fold over into a half moon shape. Seal edges by crimping with a fork. Bake in a preheated 425-degree oven for about 20 minutes, until golden and delicious. Enjoy with the Chipotle Ranch Dipping Sauce.
