Savor the crunch of Spicy Crispy Mexican Taco Pockets! Filled with seasoned beef, creamy refried beans, and melty cheddar, these pockets are perfect for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup refried beans
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped onions
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 package (10 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1 jalapeño, finely chopped (optional for extra spice)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Step 3: Add the chopped onions and taco seasoning to the skillet, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onions are soft. Stir in the refried beans and diced tomatoes, mixing well to combine all ingredients.
  4. Step 4: Open the package of biscuit dough and separate it into individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands or a rolling pin.
  5. Step 5: Place a spoonful of the beef mixture onto the center of each biscuit, sprinkle with cheddar cheese, and fold the edges over to create a pocket. Pinch the edges to seal and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot, garnished with jalapeños if desired. Enjoy your spicy crispy taco pockets!

Notes

  • For optimal storage, keep any leftover taco pockets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
  • When reheating, place the taco pockets in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to ensure they regain their crispy texture, rather than using a microwave which can make them soggy.
  • Serve your spicy crispy taco pockets with a side of guacamole or salsa for added flavor and a refreshing contrast to the heat.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding some chopped cilantro or a squeeze of lime juice to the beef mixture before filling the biscuit dough, enhancing the overall taste profile of your taco pockets.
