Laura and Annie from "The Happy Auer Show" (pronounced "happy hour") prepare this seemingly easy recipe of Tortellini Tapas (Appetizers). Although I haven't tried their recipe yet, it appears to be simple and quick, and also looks pretty tasty!
Ingredients
1 pkg Buitoni three cheese filled tortellini
1/2 cup peppercorn ranch dressing
1 egg
Contadina roasted garlic & savory spices bread crumbs
2 cups canola oil
1/2 cup peppercorn ranch dressing
1/4th cup chopped fresh cilantro (washed, stems removed, and dried)
Pace chunky mild salsa
Directions
Boil cheese tortellini according to package directions (boil gently from 7-9 minutes)
Whisk together peppercorn ranch dressing and 1 egg.
When tortellini is al dente, rinse in cold water and drain well.
Dredge well-drained tortellini in ranch mixture and set aside.
Place bread crumbs into a plate or bowl and roll each tortellini until well-crumbed.
Place rolled tortellini on baking sheet and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Place chilled tortellini in hot oil and fry about 3 minutes on each side... turning over gently with a slotted spoon.
When tortellini are golden, transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
NOTE: To keep warm, place into a preheated 200-degree oven.
Dipping Sauce
Place cilantro, ranch dressing, and salsa in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Chill for about an hour before placing into attractive serving dish.
Always Enjoy!

Can I use something else instead of cilantro?
Not really easy recipe... cilantro has such a distinct taste and I've never found a substitute.
Why don't you try Italian parsley or coriander? Then chop up a small amount of tomatoes, a couple of garlic cloves, and some hot peppers and add it to your dressing.
I bet you won't even miss it!
Thanks for visiting easy recipe!
