These loaded cheesy pocket tacos are a delicious twist on traditional tacos, with a creamy and flavor-packed filling encased in a crispy tortilla pocket. Perfect for a fun and satisfying meal!

Ingredients

Scale

Taco Seasoned Beef:

  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 pound ground beef

Cream Cheese Mixture:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup salsa

Additional Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 12 6-inch tortillas

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks until browned. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
  2. Season the Beef: Stir in the taco seasoning according to the packet’s instructions, mixing thoroughly to coat the beef evenly.
  3. Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the cream cheese until smooth. Blend in the salsa until the mixture is uniform.
  4. Assemble the Tacos: Lay a tortilla flat and spread a portion of the cream cheese mixture in the center. Top with a spoonful of seasoned beef, then sprinkle a generous amount of Cheddar cheese over the beef.
  5. Form the Pocket: Fold the tortilla over the filling, burrito-style, to create a tight pocket.
  6. Prep for Baking: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a baking tray with cooking spray and arrange the filled tortillas on the tray. Brush the tops with melted butter to help them turn golden brown.
  7. Bake: Place the tray in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and crispy.
