Ingredients
  • 3-4 cups shredded chicken
  • 1-2 cups shredded Mexican cheese
  • 2-3 cups cooked Mexican rice
  • Handful chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup enchilada sauce
  • Few tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 1 egg white
  • Flour, for dusting
Method
  1. 1Combine cooked, shredded chicken, shredded Mexican cheese, cooked Mexican rice, chopped cilantro, enchilada sauce, and taco seasoning in a large bowl and mix thoroughly.
  2. 2Dust a puff pastry sheet with flour on a cutting board and roll it out slightly.
  3. 3Cut the rolled-out pastry sheet into four equal rectangular pieces.
  4. 4To assemble each puff, brush the edges of one pastry rectangle with whisked egg white.
  5. 5Place a generous spoonful of the prepared chicken and rice filling on one half of the pastry rectangle.
  6. 6Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling to create a pocket.
  7. 7Press the edges together to seal, then use a fork to crimp the edges for a tight seal and decorative pattern.
  8. 8Place the four assembled puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  9. 9Brush the tops of the puffs with the remaining egg white.
  10. 10Make small cross-shaped slits on the top of each puff with a knife to allow steam to escape.
  11. 11Bake the puffs in an oven at 400°F (205°C) for 18-20 minutes.
