Taco Cheese Pocket Recipe
Ingredients:
Main Ingredients:
Amount of Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 (1 ounce) taco seasoning mix (packet)
1/4 cup water
1 (8-count) refrigerated crescent roll dough (can)
1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese blend
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 cup sliced bell pepper (optional)
1/2 cup sliced black olives (optional)
1/2 cup sliced green onion
Add-ons (optional):
Add-on
Sour cream
Chopped lettuce
Dice tomatoes
Chopped cilantro
Hot sauce
Instructions:
Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Prepare the ground beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook 1 pound of ground beef until no longer pink, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Drain off excess fat. Add 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water to the skillet, stirring thoroughly. Simmer for 5 minutes or until seasoning is well absorbed and mixture is fragrant. Set the seasoned beef aside.
Prepare the roll dough: Unroll 1 can of refrigerated roll dough (8 pieces) and divide into 8 individual triangles. Place each triangle of dough on the prepared baking sheet, making sure there is enough space between them for folding.
Assemble the pocket tacos:
Place a small amount of seasoned ground beef on the wide end of each roll triangle.
Top with a little shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend), a teaspoon of salsa, and, if desired, sliced bell pepper and sliced black olives.
Fold the corners of each roll triangle into a crescent shape over the filling, creating an airtight pocket. Pinch the edges together tightly to keep the filling inside while baking.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and bubbly and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
Serving: Once baked, carefully remove the cheese taco pockets from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before handling. Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and hot sauce, if desired.
Cooking Notes:
Closing the Pockets: For best results and to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking, be sure to pinch the edges of the dough tightly.
Cheese Options: While cheddar is classic, Monterey Jack or a Mexican blend of cheeses also work great in this recipe, adding a different flavor profile.
Additional Veggies: Feel free to personalize your pocket tacos! You can add more veggies to the filling, such as corn, diced jalapeños for extra spiciness, or finely chopped onions for extra flavor and texture.

Swiss Chocolate Roll: A Decadent Recipe for a Fluffy Double Chocolate Dessert
1. Prepare the Chocolate Sponge Cake:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (static). Line a rectangular baking tray (approx. 25×30 cm) with baking paper.
Separate the yolks from the whites. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff.
In another bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the sifted flour, cocoa and yeast. Mix carefully to avoid lumps.
Fold in the beaten whites, stirring from the bottom up with a spatula.
Pour the mixture into the tin and smooth out well.
Bake in the oven for about 12-15 minutes, until the sponge cake is soft and cooked through (check with a toothpick).
Remove the sponge cake from the oven and wrap it in baking paper while it is still hot, forming a roll. Let it cool completely.
2. Prepare the double chocolate filling:
In a saucepan, heat the fresh cream over low heat until it boils.
Add the dark chocolate and stir until smooth.
Add the butter and stir well until it is completely melted.
If you want a sweeter touch, you can also add milk chocolate, cut into pieces.
Let the ganache cool for a few minutes before using it to fill the roll.
3. Assemble the chocolate roll:
Carefully unroll the cooled sponge cake and remove the baking paper.
Spread the chocolate ganache over the surface of the sponge cake, trying to cover the entire surface evenly.
Roll out the sponge cake again very carefully, trying to make it dense, but not pressing too much.
If necessary, keep the roll in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes so that it hardens better.
4. Decorate and serve:
When the roll has rested well, sprinkle it with powdered sugar.
You can also add chocolate shavings or more melted chocolate for additional decoration.
Serve the Swiss chocolate roll in pieces, perhaps adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Tip:
If you want an even more delicious touch, you can add chopped hazelnuts or dried fruit inside the roll.
You can make the roll in advance, as it keeps well in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
This recipe will make a soft, rich, and truly decadent chocolate roll, perfect for any special occasion!
