Serving Size: Makes approximately 45 puffs.
Ingredients:
Dough:
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs
Filling:
6 eggs, hard-boiled and finely chopped
1 cup black bean and white corn salsa (or salsa of your choice)
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
6 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring water and butter to a boil. Add flour all at once and stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from heat; let stand for 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until the mixture is smooth and shiny. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls two inches apart onto greased baking sheets.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately cut a slit into each puff to allow steam to escape. Cool completely on wire racks.
In a bowl combine the filling ingredients and then refrigerate to allow the flavors to blend. Meanwhile, split puffs and remove soft dough from inside. Just before serving, spoon egg mixture into puffs; replace tops. Makes 45 puffs.
