Easy Loaded Cheesy Pocket Tacos 🌮🧀
The perfect fusion of taco flavor and melty cheese—wrapped in a warm, golden pocket! Quick to make, fun to eat, and totally satisfying for any taco lover.
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning
½ cup water
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup nacho cheese sauce
½ cup diced tomatoes
¼ cup chopped green onions
¼ cup sour cream (optional)
1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuit dough
1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
Instructions:
Cook the Beef:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat, then add taco seasoning and water. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
Prepare the Dough:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Flatten each biscuit dough round into a 5-inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
Fill the Pockets:
Place a spoonful of taco meat in the center of each dough circle. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, a drizzle of nacho cheese sauce, diced tomatoes, and green onions.
Seal and Bake:
Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press edges together with a fork to seal. Place on a baking sheet and brush the tops with olive oil. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve:
Let cool slightly before serving. Add a dollop of sour cream on top or serve on the side for dipping.
