Black beans, convenient chicken strips and chiles star in a feisty new role in these loaded pockets. Eat them out of hand (or with a fork if you feel civilized)! Serve a little salsa on the side for an extra burst of flavor. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Ingredients

1 medium onion, chopped
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 package (9 ounces) ready-to-serve roasted chicken breast strips
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles, divided
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup sour cream

Directions

In a large skillet, saute onion in oil until tender. Remove from the heat; stir in the chicken, beans, tomato and 1/4 cup chiles.
On a lightly floured surface, roll puff pastry into a 14-in. square. Cut into 4 squares. Spoon chicken mixture into the center of each square; sprinkle with cheese.
Brush egg over edges. Fold dough over filling, forming a triangle; pinch seams to seal. Transfer to a greased baking sheet and brush with remaining egg. Bake at 400° until golden brown, 18-22 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine sour cream and remaining chiles. Serve with pockets.
