Mexican Chicken Sausage Rolls

Alex and I decided to do some baking today so we set out to make some sausage rolls.  Instead of using traditional sausage mince I had some chicken mince wish is definitely lower in fat. 

This was a quick and easy recipe that we made up as we went along and the results were quick surprising.  Not overly spicy considering the use of mexican chilli powder but enough to leave an enjoyable tingle in your mouth afterwards.
