Prepare the Filling:

• In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
• Add the taco seasoning mix to the beef, following the package instructions (typically adding water and simmering until the mixture thickens).
• Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Combine Cream Cheese and Salsa:

• In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
• Stir in the salsa until well combined.

Assemble the Pockets:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
• Lay out a tortilla and spread a spoonful of the cream cheese and salsa mixture in the center.
• Add a spoonful of the seasoned beef mixture on top of the cream cheese layer.
• Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
• Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly to form a pocket.
• Place the pocket seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
• Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Bake:

• Brush the tops of the pockets with melted butter to help them crisp up and turn golden.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serve:

• Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
• Optional: Serve with additional salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for dipping.
