Stuffed Avocado Quesadilla Pockets

Crispy on the outside, creamy surprise in the middle. These golden pan-fried quesadilla pockets pack in juicy seasoned beef, gooey cheese, and slices of fresh avocado that turn decadently warm inside their crunchy tortilla shell. It’s a fresh twist on a classic—hot, unexpected, and wildly satisfying with every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

½ lb ground beef

1 tsp taco seasoning

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese

4 large flour tortillas

1 tbsp oil or butter for frying

Optional: sour cream, salsa, hot sauce for dipping

Instructions

Cook the beef: Brown ground beef in a skillet with taco seasoning. Drain excess fat and set aside.

Assemble pockets: Cut each tortilla in half. On one half, layer cheese, a spoonful of beef, avocado slices, and a bit more cheese. Fold into a triangle, sealing the edges with a little pressure.

Pan-fry: Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook each pocket 2–3 minutes per side until crispy and golden.

Serve: Slice and dip into sour cream, salsa, or hot sauce.
