Chicken Taco Hand Pies

This was another lunch box idea that went over really well with the boys. They could have turned out better, but for my first attempt I was just pleased that the boys liked them as much as they did. Next time I will probably make the pies smaller and use something other than canned biscuits. Make the night ahead and refrigerate. Pack them into a lunch box the next day and you’re good to go. Serve these with extra salsa and/or sour cream on the side.

1 pkg taco seasoning mix (1/4 cup)

Sour cream and salsa, for dipping

2. In saucepan, cook taco seasoning, water, Sriracha and chicken until thickened.

3. Roll each biscuit into a flat 6-inch round.

4. Fill each one with some of the chicken mixture and 1 T of cheese. Fold dough over and press to seal.
