I am obsessed with these cheesy taco pockets! They are packed with zesty beef and tons of melted cheese all wrapped up in a tortilla.
I love how these cheesy taco pockets are easy to throw together using just a couple of simple ingredients. You can even use Pillsbury biscuits or crescent dough in place of tortilla wraps if desired. Just break them into individual biscuits, roll them out a bit, and spread the filling into the dough. After folding the edges over the filling, bake them for about 13 to 25 minutes at 375 degrees F. Easy peasy!
If you are looking for another delicious snack or appetizer, these cheesy taco pockets are a delicious option! They are also amazing as a quick pack-and-go lunch!
