Step up your game day with a protein and plant-packed snack. This viral TikTok “pocket” technique makes it easy to make – and fun to eat – with all the ingredients in every bite!
Ingredients
6 inch whole wheat flour tortilla, such as Olé High Fiber or Mission
2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons salsa or guacamole
2 tablespoons Aussie Grassfed Taco Beef (see original Taco Bar recipe)
2 tablespoons Zesty Black Beans or drained black beans (see original Taco Bar recipe)
Garnish: Tailgate Taco Bar Toppings, optional
Method
- Using a sharp knife or kitchen shears, cut the tortilla halfway through on one side.
- Sprinkle ½ tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese over the entire round, and then add your fillings to each quadrant of the circle, ending with the remaining 1 ½ tablespoons cheese.
- Starting from one of your cut corners, fold each corner in so each filling has its own little pocket.
- Cook it on a heated skillet on both sides (or in a panini press) until browned and cheese is melted. If in a traditional skillet, I like to use a grill press while cooking to flatten.
- Serve cut in half and place on plate, serving with other Tailgate Taco Bar Toppings leftovers as desired.
