Ingredients 
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- ½ cup pizza sauce or taco sauce
- 1 package refrigerated crescent dough or pizza dough
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional toppings: sour cream, salsa, chopped parsley
Instructions 
- Prepare the filling: In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and onion until browned. Drain excess fat. Add garlic powder, paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook 2 minutes more. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Assemble pockets: Roll out crescent or pizza dough. Cut into squares or rectangles. Spoon beef mixture into the center of each piece. Add shredded cheeses and a spoonful of sauce. Fold dough over filling to form pockets. Seal edges with a fork.
- Egg wash: Brush tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake: Place pockets on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–18 minutes, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Serve: Garnish with sour cream, salsa, or parsley. Enjoy warm!
Tips 
- Extra cheesy: Add cream cheese inside for a gooey surprise.
- Variation: Try with chicken or turkey instead of beef.
- Serving idea: Pair with Mexican rice or a fresh salad.
