Directions

  1. 1Crack one egg into a shallow dish or plate and whisk it up. Alternatively, use plain water.
  2. 2Dip one rice paper sheet into the egg mixture to coat it thinly.
  3. 3Lay the coated rice paper sheet on a cookie sheet, working quickly as it softens fast.
  4. 4Use a pizza cutter to make a slice only to the center of the rice paper sheet, not all the way across.
  5. 5Place about 1.5 to 2 ounces of taco-seasoned ground beef (or chicken/turkey) in the top right-hand corner of the rice paper.
  6. 6Add your preferred toppings, such as cheese, onions, salsa, or avocado.
  7. 7Take the bottom right corner of the rice paper and lift it over the top, sealing the edges.
  8. 8Fold the whole side over again in half, sealing it off.
  9. 9Lift from the bottom, place the folded part underneath, and lay it out.
  10. 10Place the prepared taco pocket onto a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet.
  11. 11Repeat for additional taco pockets.
  12. 12Before baking, top the taco pockets with sesame seeds for appearance.
  13. 13Bake in a 375-degree oven for about 12 to 15 minutes.
