After our son grew fond of a fast-food restaurant’s fried burritos, I created this recipe by substituting beef with chicken and skipping the frying. It’s been a hit with our family ever since! —Nancy Coates, Oro Valley, Arizona

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°. In a large bowl, combine chicken, cheese, chiles, onions, pepper sauce and seasonings.
  2. Unfold 1 sheet of puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 12x9-in. rectangle. Cut into nine 4x3-in. rectangles.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
