Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Divide the dough into 8-10 equal pieces, and roll each piece into a small ball.
Roll out each ball of dough into a small, flat circle about 4-5 inches in diameter.
Place a spoonful of the seasoned meat mixture in the center of each dough circle, then top with a generous amount of shredded cheese.
Fold the dough over the filling to create a pocket, pinching the edges tightly to seal.
Brush the tops of the dough pockets with melted butter for extra flavor and a golden finish (optional).

4. Bake the Pocket Tacos:

Place the filled dough pockets on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pockets are golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.

5. Serve:

Let the cheesy pocket tacos cool for a few minutes, then slice them open carefully.
Serve with sour cream, salsa, guacamole, fresh cilantro, and any other toppings you like.

Tips:

For Extra Crispiness: After baking, you can lightly pan-fry the pockets in a little oil for 2-3 minutes per side to get them extra crispy.
Add Veggies: You can mix in sautéed peppers, corn, or beans into the filling for added texture and flavor.
Make it Spicy: For a spicy kick, add chopped jalapeños or your favorite hot sauce to the filling.
