Make the Filling:

2. Put onions, bell peppers, tomatoes and jalapenos in the skillet. Cook for around 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables get tenderized.
3. Season this mixture with salt, pepper, chili powder and cumin; mix everything well.
Assembling the Pocket Tacos:
4. Place a flour tortilla on a clean surface.
5. Take roughly one half of the tortilla and put meat along with vegetable filling on it. Keep some space empty around edges.
6. Now sprinkle shredded cheese over filling.
Folding & Sealing:
7. Fold
in half so that filling gets covered completely by it creating shape like half moon.
8. Press down firmly at edges thereby sealing that pocket together tightly; you can even use fork tines for crimping which adds extra security to seal.

sour cream guacamole chopped cilantro etc…
