Serves: 12
2SP/3PP each
Ingredients
- 6 Flatout original light
- 1 lb raw extra lean ground beef
- ½ cup diced peppers
- ½ cup diced onion
- 1.5 Tbsp taco seasoning (add more to taste if you prefer)
- ¾ cup shredded reduced fat cheese, I used a 3 cheese blend
- 1 Tbsp flour
- 1 Tbsp water
- Cooking spray
- Sour cream & salsa for topping (optional)
- Feel free to add in diced tomato if you wish
Instructions
- Cook and drain your ground beef in a pan on stove over medium heat, add in diced peppers & onions and taco seasoning, plus a few tablespoons of water and let cook for 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375F, spray a baking sheet with some non stick cooking spray.
- Cut your flatout wraps in half using a pizza cutter.
- In a small bowl mix your flour and water together to form a thick paste, add more water if too thick.
- As show in picture place a small amount of flour paste at the top of your half wrap, but only half way across. Fold over to form a cone shape and the flour paste will seal them.
- Add in a few spoonfuls of taco beef mixture, about ¼ cup just don't overfill, and a small sprinkle of cheese, leave enough room to seal them.
- Place some more flour paste on the top piece of your wrap and seal closed, forming a triangle shape. Repeat with all 12 pieces.
- Place on baking sheet and spray pockets with some cooking spray just on the one side.
- Bake in oven for 10 minutes
- Serve warm from the oven with sour cream and salsa for dipping.
- Makes 12 pockets at 2 smart points each (3 points plus)

These were delicious and so easy to make! I made them for my lunches for the work week. I used ground turkey, jalapeno, red/green peppers and onions.
So glad you enjoyed them Jess 🙂
These were great. My husband said they are definitely a make again recipe. I warmed some up for lunch today and they were good.
That’s awesome, so glad you both enjoyed them 🙂

what would be a good ww side dish to serve?
Hi, anything really, pasta, salad, a potato dish .. I usually make these as an appetizer to serve if I have guest..
I hate to do the I tried these bit changed the recipe….etc. 🙂 But instead of using flour paste I used taco sauce with a pastry brush. They stick together just fine. Other than that, we love these.
I always welcome tips, thanks for sharing 🙂
I made these last night for dinner and I will for sure be adding this to the dinner rotation! They were delicious! I paired them with Santa Fe Blend veggies and dipped them in salsa and plain Greek yogurt!
The dip sounds awesome, so glad you enjoyed them 🙂
