Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef or turkey (lean)
- 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup salsa (your preferred heat level)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 12 small (6-inch) flour tortillas
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a large skillet, cook ground meat over medium-high heat until browned. Drain excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning and salsa; simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Assemble the Pockets: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of filling onto one half of a tortilla, sprinkle with cheese, and fold over. Crimp edges with a fork to seal. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Crisp Them Up: Arrange pockets on the baking sheet. Lightly spray both sides with olive oil. Bake for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy. Serve hot.
