Ingredients:
1 packet of Taco Seasoning
1 pound of ground beef
½ cup of salsa
8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons of melted butter
1 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese
12 6-inch tortillas
Optional toppings: sour cream, additional salsa, green onions, and more
Instructions:
Step 1: Savory Beef Filling Begin by crumbing the ground beef into a skillet and cooking it thoroughly until it’s browned. Drain any excess grease from the skillet to keep your meal light and healthy.
Step 2: Flavorful Seasoning Add the packet of Taco seasoning mix to the cooked beef, following the directions on the package. This step infuses your beef with that classic taco taste.
Step 3: Creamy Cheese Blend In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it turns smooth and creamy. Incorporate the salsa into the cream cheese, blending the two until they create a luscious, flavorful mixture.
Step 4: Assembling the Pockets Now it’s time to craft your savory cheese pockets. Holding a tortilla in your hand, place a generous spoonful of the creamy cheese mixture in the center. Next, add a portion of the taco-flavored beef to cover the cheese and salsa blend. Sprinkle a layer of shredded Cheddar cheese on top.
Step 5: Fold and Seal Fold the tortilla and filling together, securing it like a burrito to create a pocket. This ensures all the flavors meld together while baking.
Step 6: Prepping for the Oven Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a baking tray to prevent sticking. Place the rolled tortillas onto the greased tray.
Step 7: Golden Perfection Brush the tops of the tortilla pockets with the melted butter, which adds a golden touch and enhances the flavor. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until they become perfectly crispy and golden.
Step 8: Customize Your Pockets Once out of the oven, it’s time to personalize your cheesy pockets with optional toppings like lettuce, more salsa, sour cream, olives, green onions, or extra cheese.
