These taco pockets are such a fun twist on taco ni These taco pockets are such a fun twist on taco night and my family absolutely loves them.

Theyโ€™re slightly crispy on the outside, meaty and cheesy in the middle, and come together with just a few simple ingredients. I arrange them in a skillet like a circle so everyone can just grab one.

Easy, fun, and perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients
3 burrito-size tortillas (I use Mission Carb Balance) 
1 lb ground beef
1 packet Taco seasoning
Shredded cheddar cheese
Shredded Monterey Jack cheese (for topping)
Optional: sour cream or queso
Guacamole and sour cream for serving

Cook the ground beef in a skillet and season with taco seasoning.
Cut the tortillas in half. Lay out the tortillas and place taco meat in the center in a triangle shape.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar on top. You can also add a little sour cream or queso to the tortilla before the meat if you like.
Fold the left side of the tortilla in, then the right side, forming a triangle pocket.
Place the taco pockets into an oven-safe skillet, arranging them in a circle.
Sprinkle Monterey Jack cheese over the top. Or cheese of choice. 
Bake at 350ยฐF for about 15 minutes, until the cheese melts and everything is heated through.
Serve with hot sauce, guacamole, and sour cream.
