Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Cook the Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess grease.

2. Season the Meat
Stir in the taco seasoning and ½ cup of salsa, mixing well. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove from heat.

3. Prepare the Cheese Mixture
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the salsa and mix until well combined.

4. Assemble the Pocket Tacos
Take a flour tortilla and spread a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center. Add a spoonful of taco-seasoned beef and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.

5. Fold & Seal
Fold the tortilla burrito-style (sides in, then roll tightly). Place seam-side down on a greased baking sheet.

6. Bake Until Golden & Crispy
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the tortillas with melted butter for a crisp finish. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden and slightly crispy.

7. Serve & Enjoy!
Remove from the oven and top with your favorite toppings like lettuce, sour cream, and guacamole. Serve warm!

Pro Tips for Perfect Loaded Cheesy Pocket Tacos
Don’t Overfill: Overstuffing makes it harder to fold and can cause leaks.
Seal Tightly: Ensure a snug fold to prevent filling from spilling out while baking.
Use Fresh Tortillas: Slightly warm tortillas before assembling to prevent cracking.
Brush with Butter: This step ensures golden, crispy tortillas with a rich, buttery flavor.
Reheat Like a Pro: Use an air fryer (375°F for 5 minutes) or oven (350°F for 10 minutes) to maintain crispiness.
