Cheesy Beef Pockets (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Filling

01 - 3/4 cup tomato or enchilada sauce
02 - 1 cup frozen mixed veggies
03 - Black pepper, as you like
04 - Salt, as you like
05 - 1/2 teaspoon cumin
06 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
07 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
08 - 1/2 cup onion, chopped up small
09 - 1 pound ground beef

→ Assembly

10 - 1/2 cup sliced mozzarella (totally optional)
11 - 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
12 - 6 to 8 medium-sized flour tortillas

→ Garnishes

13 - Chopped green onions if you want
14 - Freshly chopped parsley or cilantro

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Once they're baked, let 'em sit for a bit. Toss on some parsley or cilantro and a handful of green onions. Dig in while they're hot!
02 - Pop the baking dish (with tortillas all snuggled in) into your preheated oven for about 18–22 minutes. Want some extra crunch and bubbly cheese? Broil for another 2 minutes if you feel like it.
03 - Lay your rolled tortillas (folds down) into a baking dish, either greased or lined with parchment. Scatter on the rest of the shredded cheese and add those mozzarella slices if you're using them.
04 - Scoop a couple tablespoons of beef mix onto each tortilla. Sprinkle on some cheese, then roll it up tight and fold those sides in.
05 - Warm up the tortillas until they're easy to bend—this keeps them from breaking apart when you fill them.
06 - Add frozen veggies to the beef and cook for a couple minutes. Mix in the sauce and let it simmer softly for five. When it looks good and blended, kill the heat.
07 - Dump in cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, plus salt and pepper to taste. Stir it around and let flavors mingle for a minute or two.
08 - Put a skillet on medium heat. Toss in the ground beef and chopped onion. Cook till beef loses its pink and the onions are soft. Pour off any extra fat.
09 - Crank your oven to 375°F (190°C) and give it time to heat up all the way.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Warming up your wraps first makes them easier to fill and roll without cracking.
02 - Using the broiler at the end gives you a nice golden, bubbly cheese top.
