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 paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 packages (17.3 ounces each) frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 large egg, beaten
Salsa and guacamole

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°. In a large bowl, combine chicken, cheese, chiles, onions, pepper sauce and seasonings.
Unfold 1 sheet of puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 12x9-in. rectangle. Cut into nine 4x3-in. rectangles.
Place 2 tablespoons filling across the center of each rectangle. Brush edges of pastry with water and roll up pastry around filling. Press edges with a fork to seal. Repeat with remaining pastry and filling. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to bake.
Place pastries on a lightly greased baking sheet, seam side down. Brush tops with egg. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with salsa and guacamole.
