Ingredients (Makes 1 pocket – multiply as needed!)

  • 1 large flour tortilla (burrito-size works best)
  • 2 tbsp pizza sauce
  • 1 string cheese, torn into pieces (or ¼ cup shredded mozzarella)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Fill & Fold

2. Cook to Perfection

  • Skillet Method:
    • Heat a dry skillet over medium heat.
    • Cook 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
    • Pro tip: Brush with melted butter for extra crispness!

3. Serve & Devour

  • Slice in half and enjoy with:
    • Extra marinara for dipping
    • A side salad for a “meal”
    • Hot honey drizzle for sweet heat

Pro Tips

No Leaks? Don’t overfill, and seal edges really well.
Extra Flavor? Add a sprinkle of garlic powder to the filling.
Kid-Friendly: Let them assemble their own pockets!
Make Ahead: Store uncooked pockets in the fridge for 2 days (cook when ready).
