This unique recipe for Taco Pockets on Food Network's website is one of my new faves! I love how this recipe adds onions directly into beef patties so they keep a little bit of extra moisture. Turning the lean meat and traditional taco seasonings into patties makes the finished dish much easier to eat in a soft tortilla wrap. Brilliant! There is so much room to add extra toppings or ingredients to preference as well.
