loaded cheesy pocket tacos

Instructions

1. Make the Filling

  1. Cook ground beef in a skillet until browned.
  2. Add onion + garlic and cook 2–3 minutes.
  3. Add taco seasoning, tomato sauce, and water.
  4. Let simmer 5–7 minutes until thickened.
  5. Mix in corn, beans, peppers, or anything you like.

2. Assemble the Cheesy Pockets

  1. Lay a tortilla flat.
  2. Add a layer of shredded cheese in the center.
  3. Spoon 2–3 tbsp of taco meat on top.
  4. Fold the tortilla like a square pocket:
    • Fold bottom up
    • Then left side
    • Then right side
    • Then fold top down
  5. Press gently to seal (the cheese will help glue it).

3. Cook the Pockets

  • Heat a pan with a bit of oil or butter.
  • Cook each pocket 2–3 minutes per side until:
    ✓ Golden
    ✓ Crispy
    ✓ Cheese melted inside

🌮🔥 Tips for EXTRA CHEESY Pockets

  • Add a thin layer of cheese under AND over the meat.
  • For maximum crispiness → use butter + oil mix in the pan.
