      Title: Chipotle Tuna Empanadas 
 Categories: Seafood, Pastry, Chilies, Vegetables
      Yield: 12 Empanadas

     15 oz (3 cans) Bumble Bee Prime
           - Fillet Albacore Tuna with
           - Chipotle & Olive Oil
      1 lg Hard boiled egg; chopped
      1 tb Adobo; to taste (opt)
    3/4 c  Chopped fresh cilantro
      3 tb Chopped green olives
      3 tb Capers
           Salt
           Empanada dough
      1 lg Egg; beaten

  Preheat oven to 375oF/190oC.

  In a medium bowl, use a fork to combine tuna, adobo, 
  cilantro, olives and capers well. Add salt to taste.

  Pinch off a 2" ball of empanada dough and, on a clean
  surface, roll dough into a circle about 1/8" thick. Use a
  cookie cutter, knife or an inverted glass to cut out 5" ?
  6" circle (don't stress about being too exact).

  Place about 2 heaping tablespoons of tuna filling in the
  center of the circle (you can use more or less depending
  on the size of your dough circle; again, don't stress
  about being exact). Dip your fingers in water and moisten
  all around the edge of the circle before folding the dough
  over to seal, pressing gently first with your fingers,
  then with a fork. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
  Place finished empanadas on a parchment lined cookie
  sheet.

  Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the top of the
  empanadas with whisked egg. Bake empanadas for 15?18
  minutes, until golden brown. Let cool and serve warm or
  cool completely and store in the fridge for up to 3 days
  or in a sealed ziplock in the freezer for up to 3 months.

  NOTE: While there is nothing in this that is unsafe for
  younger children, I save this for kids 12+ mos, which is
  when I first introduce meat protein, especially fish where
  there's any concern about mercury. Also, this chipotle
  tuna packs heat!

  Makes enough filling for 12 empanadas
