Zesty beef and loads of cheese wrapped in a tortilla and baked until golden.
Taco Pockets are a quick fix on a busy weeknight. Cream cheese, salsa, seasoned ground beef and melted cheddar cheese are wrapped up in soft tacos and baked for a delicious and super convenient grab-and-go school lunch or afternoon snack.
Or, serve them for dinner topped with guacamole, sour cream, or a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro with sides of refried beans or corn salad. My recipe for baked taco hot pockets will put a smile on everybody’s face, and especially yours when you need to feed a hungry crowd fast.
