# Instructions:
01 -
Crank up that oven to 350°F and line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
02 -
Get your skillet nice and hot over medium-high heat. Brown that ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain off any extra fat - we want these pockets tasty, not greasy!
03 -
Sprinkle in your taco seasoning and follow the packet instructions. Set this deliciousness aside for now.
04 -
In a bowl, beat your room temperature cream cheese until it's nice and smooth. Mix in the salsa until everything's well combined.
05 -
Grab a tortilla and spread some of that cream cheese mixture right in the middle. Top it with some of your seasoned beef and a generous sprinkle of cheese.
06 -
Roll each tortilla up burrito-style and place them on your prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with a bit more cheese for good measure.
07 -
Pop these bad boys in the oven for about 15 minutes until they're golden brown and crispy on the outside.

These pockets can be made ahead and reheated in the oven when needed
