  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 pockets 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 can (16.3 ounce) refrigerated biscuits

8 ounces ground beef

1 tablespoon taco seasoning

2 ounces processed cheese loaf, cubed

3 tablespoons salsa

¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

1-First Step: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

2-Second Step: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt, incorporating the dry ingredients for the biscuit dough.

3-Third Step: Cut cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs, creating a flaky biscuit base.

4-Fourth Step: Stir in milk gradually until the dough forms a soft ball; avoid overmixing to keep biscuits tender.

5-Fifth Step: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or substitute with plant-based crumbles, seasoning with taco spice blend and sautéing onions and bell peppers until soft and flavorful.

6-Sixth Step: Roll out the biscuit dough on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness and cut into circles.

7-Seventh Step: Spoon a generous amount of the cooked taco filling onto half of the biscuit circles, top with shredded cheese, then place another biscuit circle on top and seal edges firmly.

8-Eighth Step: Place assembled stuffed taco biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and cheese is melted.

9-Final Step: Allow biscuits to cool slightly before serving; garnish with fresh cilantro or a dollop of sour cream if desired. Adapt seasoning or fillings for dietary preferences.

Notes

🔥 Use freshly cooked taco-seasoned beef for best flavor.
🧀 Cubed processed cheese melts evenly for a creamy filling.
🍽️ Seal biscuit edges well to prevent filling leakage during baking.
