How to make it

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Melt butter in 12-inch skillet until sizzling; add red pepper, onion, garlic and chiles. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened and liquid has evaporated (3 to 5 minutes). Add chicken and cumin; continue cooking until heated through (1 to 2 minutes). Remove from heat. Cool 10 minutes. Stir in sour cream, cheese and cilantro.
  • To assemble bites, place 1 sheet phyllo dough on flat surface; brush with melted butter. Top with 2 additional sheets, buttering each sheet. Trim stack using kitchen shears to 18x12 1/2 inches. Cut stack in half crosswise; cut each stack lengthwise into 2 1/2-inch strips.
  • Spoon 2 teaspoons filling onto center of end of each stack of strips. Form triangle by folding lower right-hand corner of each strip to opposite side. Continue folding in triangles to end of strip.
  • Place triangles onto ungreased baking sheet. Repeat 5 more times with remaining phyllo dough and filling. Brush appetizers with butter before baking. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with salsa, if desired.
  • TIP: To make ahead, prepare appetizers as directed above except do not bake. Wrap in plastic food wrap; place into a large resealable freezer container. At serving time, heat oven to 350°F. Place desired number of appetizers onto ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with salsa, if desired.
  • TIP: Phyllo dough is extremely thin, papery layers of pastry dough used in Greek and mid-Eastern recipes. It dries out quickly, so brush each layer with melted butter as the sheets are stacked. It is best to keep the unused sheets of dough covered with a damp towel while assembling a recipe using phyllo. Phyllo dough can be found in the freezer section of most supermarkets. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator; thawing at room temperature may cause the sheets of dough to stick together.
