The filling of these savory Latin pastries, served at Cafe Iguana, in Denver, Colorado, is accented with chilies, raisins and almonds.
*Available at Latin American markets and many supermarkets.
For filling:
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork, jalapeno chili, chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, and allspice to skillet and stir 3 minutes. Add raisins and lime juice; boil until almost all liquid evaporates, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Mix in almonds and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper. Cool.
For dough:
Butter two large baking sheets. Mix flour, Masa Harina, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Stir in melted butter. Whisk water and 1 egg in small bowl to blend., Add to flour mixture; knead in bowl until smooth pliable dough forms, about 2 minutes. Working with half of dough at a time, roll out on floured surface to 1/8 inch thickness. Using 3 3/4-inch diameter biscuit center, cut out rounds. Reroll scraps and cut out additional rounds for a total of 12 rounds per dough half.
Whisk remaining egg in small bowl to blend. Place 1 tablespoon filling in center of each dough round. Lightly brush edges with egg. Fold dough over, pressing edges with fork to seal. Place on prepared baking sheets. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with plastic wrap; chill).
Preheat over to 375 degrees F. Brush empanadas with beaten egg. Bake until light golden brown, about 25 minutes. Serve with chipotle salsa and sour cream.
