Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs lean ground beef
  • 1 oz pkg taco seasoning
  • 8 oz pkg light cream cheese, room temperature
  • ½ cup salsa
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican-blend cheese
  • 12 taco-size flour tortillas

serving day

  • 2 tbsp butter, melted

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, cook ground beef until browned and crumbly; drain.
  • Add taco seasoning, and follow package directions to season ground beef.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until almost fluffy; slowly add in salsa and mix well.
  • Take a tortilla, and spread a spoonful of the salsa mixture in the center. Spoon some ground beef on top of the salsa mixture (enough to cover the salsa). Top with cheese.
  • Fold the tortilla up as you would a burrito, and place onto a baking sheet.
  • Cover baking sheet with plastic wrap or foil, then place into freezer to flash freeze.
  • Once they are frozen enough not to stick to each other, transfer to an airtight container or gallon-size zip-top bag.
  • When ready to serve, preheat oven to 350℉. Place frozen pockets onto baking sheet, brush with melted butter and tent with a sheet of foil. Bake 20-25 minutes, or until steaming hot.
