Taco Pockets

Ingredients
-
1 package of taco seasoning, divided
-
½ pound of ground beef
-
2 packages of refrigerated 11 ounce thin crust pizza dough
-
1 tub of Salsa Challenge Cream Cheese
-
1 cup of fresh corn
-
1 cup of black beans
-
1 cup of shredded Mexican cheese blend
-
4 tablespoons of Challenge Butter, melted
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
-
Prepare taco meat as directed on package, reserving 1 tablespoon of seasoning. Let meat cool.
-
Place pizza dough on a work surface. Cut dough into 4 sections to create four rectangles. Soften cream cheese in microwave for 30 seconds for easy spreading. Spread cream cheese on ½ of each rectangle, avoiding the edges. Cover cream cheese with seasoned meat, corn, black beans and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Fold the dough over filling and seal the edges. Place on a greased cooking sheet. Repeat with the second pizza dough.
-
Combine the melted butter with the reserved taco seasoning. Brush seasoned butter over crust to add flavor.
-
Bake Taco Pockets in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Serve immediately, or place into a freezer safe zipper top bag and freeze. Taco Pockets can be warmed in the microwave for a great lunch, snack or afterschool treat.
