  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 8 medium flour tortillas

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes

  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives

  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Beef Filling

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft (5–6 minutes). Drain excess fat.

  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.

  3. Stir in the taco seasoning and water, then simmer 3–4 minutes until thickened.

  4. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 2: Assemble the Pocket Tacos

  1. Lay a tortilla on a clean surface and sprinkle a little cheddar and mozzarella in the center.

  2. Add a spoonful of the beef mixture over the cheese.

  3. Fold the sides toward the center, then fold the top and bottom to form a sealed pocket.

  4. Repeat with all tortillas.

Step 3: Cook the Pockets

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat.

  2. Place the pocket tacos seam-side down and cook 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.

  3. Cook in batches if needed, adding more oil as you go.

  4. Transfer cooked tacos to a paper towel-lined plate.
