Instructions
 

Preheat Your Oven or Skillet

  • Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) if you plan to bake your pockets. Alternatively, heat a skillet over medium heat for frying. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect golden crust.

Gather Your Ingredients

  • Assemble your tortillas, cheese, vegetables, and sauce. For instance, you might choose mozzarella cheese, bell peppers, and marinara sauce. Having everything ready will streamline the process.

Assemble the Pockets

  • Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a spoonful of sauce in the center, followed by your choice of cheese and fillings. Remember, less is more! Overfilling can lead to messy pockets.

Fold and Seal

  • Carefully fold the tortilla in half, enclosing the fillings. Press the edges together firmly to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for an extra secure seal. This step helps prevent any leakage during cooking.

Cook the Pockets

  • If baking, place the pockets on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush them lightly with olive oil. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. If frying, add a little oil to the skillet and cook each pocket for 3-4 minutes on each side until crispy.

Cool and Serve

  • Once cooked, allow the Golden Tortilla Pizza Pockets to cool for a few minutes. This waiting time helps the cheese set slightly, making them easier to eat. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, like marinara or guacamole.
