For serving

- Guacamole

How to make them
- Cook the filling
Brown meat, add taco seasoning, cook until saucy. - Assemble the pockets
Lay out tortillas. Add meat, cheese, and any extras.
Fold tightly into a pocket (like a burrito, but flatter). - Seal & crisp
- Pan method: Cook seam-side down in a lightly oiled skillet until golden and crispy on both sides.
- Air fryer: 375°F for 6–8 minutes, flipping once.
- Oven: 400°F for ~12 minutes.
