Notes

You can use ground turkey or ground chicken in place of ground beef.

You can substitute 1 pkg of store bought or my homemade taco seasoning in place of the spices.

If using crescent rolls make sure you pinch the seams really well.

To Bake: Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

To Freeze: Fry them as directed, let them cool completely and wrap each pocket in plastic wrap, and place them in a ziplock freezer bag. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat.
