CRUNCHY BEAN DIP TACOS

Steps:

• For the bean dip: Combine the beans, trimmed scallions, salsa, lime juice, cilantro, chili powder, onion powder, cumin, coriander, garlic powder and cayenne in a food processor and blend until smooth. Season well with salt.
• For the tacos: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tortillas in batches and heat until warm and flexible. Place them in a clean kitchen towel to stay warm.
• Spread a heaping 1/4 cup of bean dip onto each tortilla, sprinkle a bit of cheese on top, and fold the tacos in half, pressing firmly.
• Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in the skillet over medium heat. Set a wire rack over a sheet pan. Working in batches, fry the tacos until the tortillas are golden and very crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on the rack while you cook the remaining tacos. (If desired, keep the tacos warm in a 300-degree-F oven until ready to serve.)
• Arrange the tacos on a platter and sprinkle with the scallions. Serve with sour cream and salsa for dipping.

JEANNIE'S GYOZA

Steps:

• Cook pork in a skillet over medium heat, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain excess grease and transfer to a bowl.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in the same skillet. Add onions; cook and stir until slightly softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Add carrots; cook and stir until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add to the cooked pork.
• Cook cabbage in the same skillet over medium-high heat, adding the pork-carrot mixture in gradually, until wilted, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in vinegar, ginger, grape jelly, teriyaki sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Cook and stir gyoza filling until flavors combine, about 3 minutes.
• Combine 1 tablespoon water and cornstarch in a small bowl. Add to the gyoza filling. Cook and stir until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Let cool, at least 20 minutes.
• Place a dab of filling in the center of a dumpling wrapper. Fold over to form a semicircle and seal the circle edge with water; press firmly. Place gyoza on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
• Combine 1/2 cup water, rice wine vinegar, 1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce, and 1 1/2 teaspoons oysters sauce in a bowl to make sauce.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add gyoza in batches; cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add some of the sauce. Cook, covered, until liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining gyoza and sauce.
