1 pound ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning
8 ounces cream cheese room temp
½ c. salsa
1 c. cheddar cheese shredded
2 tbsp butter melted
12 small flour tortillas
sour cream salsa, tomatoes, etc. for garnish
How to make Cheesy Taco Pockets

Step 2: Place the cream cheese in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Beat it until almost fluffy. Gradually add the salsa, mixing well.
Step 3: In the centre of a tortilla, add a spoonful of salsa mixture, then spread. Over the salsa, spoon enough ground beef to cover it, then top with cheese. Now, fold the tortilla and place it on a greased cookie sheet.
Step 4: With melted butter, brush the tops of the burritos. Place in a 350 degrees F oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. When done, take the cheesy taco pockets from the oven and serve garnished with taco toppings. Enjoy!
