Instruktioner

Cook the Beef: Sauté onion and garlic in hot oil for 1–2 minutes. Add beef and brown for 3–4 minutes. Stir in all spices and tomato paste; sauté for 2–3 minutes. Pour in water and simmer for 8–10 minutes until evaporated. Stir in the peppers for 2–3 minutes, then remove from heat.

Fold the Pockets: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut tortillas in half. Place a pinch of mozzarella in the center of each half, top with 2–3 tbsp of beef, and fold tightly into a triangle pocket.

Assemble & Bake: Grease a circular baking dish with garlic butter and arrange the pockets inside. Brush the tops with remaining butter and top generously with the remaining mozzarella and cheddar.

Serve: Bake for 15–20 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly. Serve hot!
