Loaded Cheesy Pocket Tacos
A delicious and easy-to-make dish that combines seasoned ground beef, a creamy salsa and cheese mixture, all wrapped in tortillas and baked to perfection. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a fun appetizer at your next party.
Ingredients
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 tbsp butter melted
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese shredded
- 12 pieces 6-inch tortillas
Instructions
- Crumble ground beef into a skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess grease.
- Add taco seasoning to the beef following the packet instructions, usually by adding seasoning and water, then simmer until thickened. Stir well.
- In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add salsa and blend well.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- On each tortilla, spread the cream cheese mixture in the center, add seasoned beef, and top with shredded Cheddar cheese. Fold sides in and roll up the tortilla.
- Place tortillas seam-side down on a greased baking tray. Brush tops with melted butter and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Top with lettuce, extra salsa, sour cream, olives, or cheese. Serve immediately.
Notes
For a spicier version, add chopped jalapeños to the filling or use a hot salsa.
