Ingredients:
Taco Seasoning Packet: A seasoning blend that adds that signature taco flavor to your dish.
Ground Beef (1 lb): Lean ground beef serves as a hearty base for our savory filling.
Salsa (1/2 cup): Adds a spicy kick and moist texture to the filling mix.
8 oz. Softened Cream Cheese: Provides a creamy and delicious contrast to the savory seasoned beef.
Butter (2 tablespoons, melted): Adds richness and helps achieve a golden brown crust on the pockets.
Cheddar cheese (1 cup, shredded): A classic choice for its melty, gooey goodness.
Tortillas (12 6-inch tortillas): The vessel for our delicious filling, which soothingly envelops all the flavors.
Optional Toppings: Sour cream, additional salsa, green onions, olives, lettuce, or additional cheese to personalize your pockets.
Instructions:
Step 1: Savory Beef Filling
First, brown the ground beef in a pan until cooked through. Drain any excess fat to keep the filling light and healthy.
Step 2: Savory Seasoning
Add the taco seasoning mix to the cooked beef, following the package directions to ensure a perfectly seasoned filling.
Step 3: Creamy Cheese Blend
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Blend the salsa with the cream cheese to create a delicious and flavorful mixture.
Step 4: Assemble the Pockets
Spread a generous spoonful of the creamy cheese blend on each tortilla. Top with a portion of taco beef and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 5: Fold and Seal
Fold the tortillas around the filling and secure them like burritos to form pockets. This ensures all the delicious flavors combine during baking.
Step 6: Oven Prepare
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and lightly grease a baking sheet. Place the assembled pockets on the sheet.
Step 7: Golden Perfection
Brush the tops of the tortilla pockets with melted butter for a golden finish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.
Step 8: Customize Your Pockets
After removing them from the oven, you can customize your cheese pockets with optional toppings like sour cream, additional salsa, green onions, olives, lettuce, or more cheese.
