Loaded Cheesy Pocket Tacos

INGREDENT

  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground chicken/turkey)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup salsa or taco sauce
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • ¼ cup sliced black olives (optional)
  • 1 avocado, diced or mashed
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough or crescent roll dough
  • Cooking spray or oil for brushing
  • Jalapeño slices (optional, for extra heat)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Cook the beef:
    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat. Add taco seasoning and water. Stir and simmer for 5–7 minutes until thickened.
  3. Prepare dough pockets:
    Roll out each biscuit or crescent dough into a flat circle or square, about ¼ inch thick.
  4. Assemble tacos:
    On one half of each dough piece, layer:
    • A spoonful of seasoned meat
    • A spoonful of salsa
    • A handful of shredded cheese
    • Add optional toppings like olives, jalapeños, or avocado
  5. Seal and bake:
    Fold the dough over to create a pocket and pinch edges with a fork to seal. Place on the baking sheet, spray or brush tops with oil.
  6. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Top and serve:
    Once baked, top with lettuce, tomato, sour cream, and extra cheese if desired.
