Fold over and pinch the edges together to seal. Using a fork, make hash marks on the edges of the empanadas to ensure they are sealed. Transfer empanadas to a large baking sheet.

CHEESY, SPICY BLACK BEAN BAKE



Cheesy, Spicy Black Bean Bake image

Whether or not you've fallen for this cheesy white-bean tomato bake, we'd like you to meet its bolder counterpart, smoky and spiced, with lots of melty cheese. Black beans shine in a deep-red mixture of fried garlic, caramelized tomato paste, smoked paprika and cumin. The whole skillet gets coated in a generous sprinkling of sharp Cheddar or Manchego cheese, then baked until melted. The final result is what you hope for from a really good chili or stew, but in a lot less time. For a spicier rendition, add a pinch of cayenne with the paprika, or douse the final skillet with hot sauce. Serve with tortillas, tortilla chips, rice, a baked potato or fried eggs.

Categories     dinner, easy, weekday, beans, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 (14-ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup boiling water
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/2 cups grated Cheddar or Manchego cheese (from about a 6-ounce block)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 475 degrees. In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Fry the garlic until lightly golden, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste, paprika, red-pepper flakes and cumin (be careful of splattering), and fry for 30 seconds, reducing the heat as needed to prevent the garlic from burning.
  • Add the beans, water and generous pinches of salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top then bake until the cheese has melted, 5 to 10 minutes. If the top is not as browned as you'd like, run the skillet under the broiler for 1 or 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

CHEDDAR AND BLACK BEAN FRITTERS



Cheddar and Black Bean Fritters image

Categories     Bean     Appetizer     Side     Fry     Quick & Easy     Cheddar     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 18 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/3 cup milk
1 large egg yolk
1 cup 1/4-inch-diced extra-sharp Cheddar (about 1/4 pound)
1 cup canned black beans, rinsed well in a sieve and patted dry between layers of paper towels
2 large egg whites
vegetable oil for frying the fritters
sour cream and tomato salsa as accompaniments if desired

Steps:

  • In a bowl whisk together well the cornmeal, the flour,the baking powder, the cayenne, the salt, and the cumin, whisk in the milk and the yolk, and stir in the Cheddar and the beans. In another bowl beat the whites until they hold soft peaks and fold them into the Cheddar mixture thoroughly. Heat 1/8 inch of the oil in a well-seasoned cast-iron or non-stick skillet over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking. Working in batches, drop heaping tablespoons of the batter into the skillet, spreading them slightly, fry the fritters for 1 minute on each side, or until they are golden brown, and let them drain on paper towels. Serve the fritters with the sour cream and the tomato salsa.

Tips:

  • For a smoky flavor, use chipotle peppers in adobo sauce instead of regular chili powder.
  • Add a tablespoon of chopped fresh cilantro or parsley to the batter for a pop of color and flavor.
  • If you don't have a torta pan, you can use a regular 9-inch round baking pan. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • Serve the torta with your favorite toppings, such as guacamole, salsa, sour cream, or shredded lettuce.

Conclusion:

Cheddar Turkey Black Bean Torta is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is packed with protein and vegetables, and it is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you are looking for a quick and healthy meal, give this recipe a try.
