2. Cook Meat Mixture:

   • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground chicken and ground pork until no longer pink; then drain excess fat.
   • Stir in water, green chilies, and seasoning mix. Add cereal, stirring until well combined; then set aside.

3. Prepare Dough:

   • Roll bread dough into a 15×10-inch rectangular shape.

   • Spread 2 cups of the prepared meat mixture in a 4-inch wide strip lengthwise down the center of the dough.
   • Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
   • Cover with the remaining meat mixture.

5. Fold and Seal:

   • Bring both sides of the dough up over the filling to cover it completely.
   • Seal the top and sides well to prevent any filling from leaking out during baking.
   • Place the burrito bake seam side down on an ungreased cookie sheet.

6. Add Flavorful Touch:

   • Brush the top of the burrito bake with melted margarine.
   • Sprinkle chili powder evenly over the top for added flavor.

8. Serve:

   • Remove the Santa Fe Burrito Bake from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
   • Slice it into portions and serve with salsa and sour cream on the side for dipping.

9. Optional Decoration:

   • For an extra decorative touch, cut a 1-inch strip from the short side of the dough and reserve it.
   • Use small cookie cutters to make cutouts from the reserved dough.
   • Decorate the top of the burrito bake with these cutouts before brushing with margarine for a festive presentation.
