# What You’ll Need:
→ Filling
01 -
1 pound ground beef
02 -
1 packet (about 1 ounce) taco seasoning
03 -
1/2 cup water
04 -
1/2 cup salsa
→ Dough and Assembly
05 -
1 can (8 count) buttermilk biscuits
06 -
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
07 -
1 large egg, beaten
# Steps to Make This:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with non-stick spray.
02 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until evenly browned. Drain excess grease.
03 -
Stir in taco seasoning, water, and salsa. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
04 -
Flatten each biscuit into a 6-inch round using your hands or a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface.
05 -
Place about 1/3 cup of the meat mixture in the center of each biscuit round. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Fold the dough over the filling and press edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp edges if desired.
06 -
Arrange sealed pockets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with beaten egg. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
07 -
Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with additional salsa or sour cream as desired.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Allow assembled taco pockets to cool slightly before serving to avoid burns from hot filling.
