Introduction
Crispy, oven-baked tortilla pockets packed with a perfectly seasoned ground beef filling and a generous amount of gooey melted cheese, all brushed with a rich garlic herb butter.
Step 1
Melt 1 tbsp of butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until soft and lightly sweet.
Step 2
Add 2 minced garlic cloves to the pan and cook for 30 seconds just until fragrant.
Step 3
Add 1 lb of ground beef, break it apart, and let it brown slightly before stirring.
Step 4
Season the beef with salt, black pepper, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika. Stir and cook for 2 minutes.
Step 5
Add 2 tbsp of tomato paste. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly to deepen the flavor.

Important Notes
Simmering the beef filling until it's thick and glossy is crucial; a watery filling will make the pockets soggy.
Allow the beef mixture to cool down slightly before assembling the pockets to keep the tortillas crispy.
Garlic herb butter not only adds an incredible aroma but also helps the tortillas crisp up beautifully in the oven.
Leftovers can be reheated in an oven or air fryer to restore the crispy texture.
