Tortillas

Chips and Dips

Mini Guava Empanadas

Method

Tortillas

1

Prepare Tortillas

Warm the hard taco shells in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until crispy. Heat the soft flour tortillas in a skillet or microwave until warm and pliable.

Seasoned Rice

2

Cook the Rice

In a medium saucepan, combine the long-grain white rice, vegetable broth, ground cumin, chili powder, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

Beans

3

Prepare the Beans

In a small saucepan, combine the canned black or pinto beans (drained and rinsed), ground cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Heat over medium heat until warmed through, about 5-7 minutes.

Chips and Dips

4

Arrange Chips and Dips

Place the tortilla chips in a serving bowl. Serve with queso dip and salsa on the side for dipping.

Salad

5

Make the Salad

In a large bowl, combine mixed salad greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and diced cucumber. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine.

Mini Guava Empanadas

6

Bake the Empanadas

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a tablespoon of guava paste in the center of each empanada dough piece. Fold over and seal the edges with a fork. Brush with beaten egg. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
