Easy Cheesy Taco Pockets sound like a fun and delicious meal! Here’s a simple recipe you can try:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (or ground chicken/turkey if you prefer)
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (or biscuit dough)
- Optional: diced onions, chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños for extra flavor
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook Meat:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
- Drain any excess fat.
- Add the taco seasoning and water to the skillet. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes until the seasoning is well mixed and the meat is coated.
- Prepare Dough:
- Open the can of crescent roll dough (or biscuit dough). If using crescent rolls, unroll the dough and separate it into triangles. If using biscuits, flatten each biscuit into a circle.
- Assemble Pockets:
- Place a small spoonful of the seasoned meat mixture onto the center of each dough piece.
- Sprinkle with shredded cheese and a spoonful of salsa.
- Fold the dough over the filling to create a pocket or fold the triangles into a crescent shape and press the edges to seal.
- Bake:
- Place the pockets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve:
- Let the taco pockets cool slightly before serving. Optionally, serve with extra salsa, sour cream, or guacamole on the side.
