Chickaritos

This recipe is one I created, substituting chicken for beef and omitting the frying, when our son grew fond of a fast-food restaurant's "junior burritos." They've been a big hit with our whole family ever since! —Nancy Coates, Oro Valley, Arizona

Ingredients

  • 3 cups finely chopped cooked chicken
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles
  • 4 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 packages (17.3 ounces each) frozen puff pastry, thawed

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 425°. In a large bowl, combine chicken, cheese, chiles, onions, pepper sauce and seasonings.
