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