    This Easy Thai Chicken Burritos recipe was a runner up in the Pillsbury Bake-off in 2007. We’ve been making it ever since. It’s delicious, super easy, and you probably already have all the ingredients on hand right now.

    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.

    Mixing the spices in a Ziploc bag, adding the chicken and tossing them together is an easy way to season the chicken. Then all you have to do is saute the chicken in a skillet for a few minutes until it isn’t pink any more. Then you’ll add the sauce ingredients.

    I’ve found if you wait a few minutes for the peanut butter to get hot before you start stirring, the peanut butter is easier to mix into the sauce.

    Once the peanut butter is melted and incorporated into the sauce, you stir in the rice. If the rice absorbs all the liquid, you can stir in a little more water.

    This Easy Thai Chicken Burritos is delicious, super easy, and you probably already have all the ingredients on hand right now. 

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

    Put this recipe on your menu this week.

        Hi Taylor – it’s definitely an American fusion recipe.

      Ohhhh how I miss the Pillsbury Bake Off the way it used to be—cooking from the ground floor instead of using pre-made everything. How I loved grabbing those “Bake Off” cookbooks off the rack in the check out line at the grocery store. I have made so many recipes from them over and over. I even have a cookbook here called “Best of the Bake Off Collection”, copryright 1959. It contains “the 1,000 best recipes from the first 10 years of the “Pillsbury Grand National Bake Off”. It’s from my Mom’s cookbook collection-how she loved using that book-and I do too. All the recipes from scratch using easy to find ingredients. To this day it’s a cookbook I use a lot.

      I never would have thought of using Thai ingredients in a burrito-but I sure will now! Those look delicious! P.S…isn’t it funny how our kid’s tastes change? I find the same thing with Robin-a lot of the things she didn’t eat before she loves now.

        I have a few of those collection cookbooks. How great that you have one from 1959.
