Cheesy Beef Taco Pockets

1. Cook the Beef Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned.

Drain excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning and water; simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2. Prepare the Dough
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Roll out crescent or biscuit dough into squares/rectangles.

3. Fill and Seal
Place a spoonful of beef filling and some cheese in the center of each dough piece.

Fold over and pinch edges tightly to seal (use a fork to crimp if desired).

4. Bake
Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with beaten egg for golden color.

Bake 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.

5. Serve
Let cool slightly, then serve warm with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole for dipping.

Tips
Add black beans or corn to the filling for extra texture.

Use pepper jack or mozzarella for a different cheese flavor.

Great for meal prep or freezer snacks — bake and reheat later.
