Cheesy Baked Beef Tortilla Pockets

Instructions

1. Preheat oven: Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cook the beef:
   • In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef, onion, and garlic until beef is browned and onion is soft.
   • Drain excess fat. Add chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
3. Assemble the pockets:
   • Lay out a tortilla. Spoon some beef mixture onto the center, sprinkle with cheddar and mozzarella cheese, and add optional toppings if desired.
   • Fold the sides over and roll tightly to form a pocket. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
4. Brush and bake:
   • Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
   • Bake for 15–20 minutes until golden brown and cheese is melted.
5. Serve:
   • Serve warm with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole on the side.

These pockets are crispy on the outside, cheesy and savory inside, and perfect for family dinners or snack time 😋.

I can also give a quick skillet version that cooks in 10 minutes—no oven needed—if you want. Do you want that version?
