Cheesy Taco Pockets

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Taco Pockets.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper—this will make cleanup a breeze! In a large skillet, heat things up over medium heat as you cook the ground beef, stirring occasionally until it’s beautifully browned, which should take about 5 to 8 minutes.

2. Step 2

   Don’t forget to drain any excess grease to keep your dish light and tasty.

3. Step 3

   Next, add some water along with your favorite taco seasoning mix to the skillet, stirring everything together until well combined.

4. Step 4

   Cover the skillet and let it simmer on low heat for a few minutes, allowing those flavors to meld together perfectly.

5. Step 5

   While that’s happening, unroll the crescent dough triangles onto your prepared baking sheet and cut each triangle in half—this is where the fun begins! Place a half slice of pepper Jack cheese on each dough triangle, adding a delightful kick.

6. Step 6

   Spoon the savory beef mixture evenly over the cheese, then sprinkle on some chopped tomato and fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness.

7. Step 7

   Now, fold the dough over the filling, pinching the edges to seal in all that deliciousness.

8. Step 8

   Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 13 to 15 minutes, or until the pockets turn a lovely golden brown.

9. Step 9

   The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible, and soon you’ll have a delightful treat ready to enjoy!.
