I have zucchini from friends & family that needs to be used. I have also been craving Mexican food. So, I decided to incorporate the two for dinner. The chilis are very mild & have a smokey sweet flavor. Think a mildly smokey-spicy raisin. My kids ate this dish without one comment of it being too spicy.

  1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees
  2. Boil enough water to cover chili. Pour boiling water over chili & weigh down. Allow to soak at least 15 minutes. Once soft, remove from water & mince. To lower spicy level you can scrape out seeds.
  3. Heat clarified butter over medium to medium high heat. Add diced onion & raisins & cook until soft & golden. Add ground chicken.
  4. When chicken is almost done add zucchini, spices, chili, vinegar, sugar & tomatos. Allow to cook until chicken is done & there is almost no sauce. Allow to cool for easier handling.
  5. Set aside 1 1/2 cups of filling for another use.
  6. Using a 4" biscut cutter cut out 16 rounds from dough. Top a round with 1/4 cup filling. Top with another round & seal edges using a fork. Poke vent holes in top.
  7. Place filled empanadas onto baking sheet spraye with non stick cooking spray & lightly spray top of empanadas.
  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.

    Hi Bud:
    These sound good. I like the addition of raisins and the spice combination. I have some pie dough in the freezer and some ground turkey. Might give them a try. Thanks for sharing!
    Love,
    Dad
