"Tasty little pockets of cheesy taco flavored ground meat. Perfect for appetizers, after school snacks or anytime you get a hunger pang or craving. Prepare them all at once or freeze them and bake later! This makes 32 small pockets, 1-2 per serving, unless you are feeding teenagers! OAMC directions are included here for you. Created for RSC 9. Good luck to all participating Chefs!------ If you want them spicier please increase the chili powder or add some cayenne or red pepper...."
