Thai Chicken Burritos

Thai Chicken Burritos

Tonight we tried one of the 2007 Pillsbury Bake-off recipes Thai Chicken Burritos. I thought it was a great recipe. It was easy to make with ingredients I had in my pantry. My husband and I both gave it a thumbs up. The kids weren’t as crazy about it. It may have been too spicy for them.

Update: I have made this many times since I first posted it and now we all love it. My son even requested it the other day.
