Here’s a simple recipe for Loaded Cheesy Pocket Tacos:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (or any other ground meat of your choice)
- 1 packet of taco seasoning mix
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
- 8 small flour tortillas (soft taco size)
- Optional toppings: diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, diced onions, sour cream, salsa, avocado slices, cilantro, etc.
Instructions:
- Cook the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it’s browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
- Season the Meat: Add the taco seasoning mix to the cooked ground beef according to the package instructions. Stir well to combine, and let it simmer for a few minutes until the flavors meld together.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave them for a few seconds until they’re pliable.
- Load the Tortillas: Place a spoonful of the seasoned ground beef onto the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle some shredded cheese on top of the meat.
- Fold and Secure: Fold the tortillas in half over the filling to create a pocket. If desired, you can secure the edges with toothpicks.
- Cook the Tacos: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the folded tacos seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Remove the tacos from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Serve them with your favorite toppings like diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sour cream, salsa, or any other toppings you prefer.
