Prepare the Ground Beef:

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula as it cooks.

Drain any excess fat from the skillet.

Add Seasoning:

Add the taco seasoning mix and water to the cooked ground beef. Stir to combine.

Reduce heat to medium and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and the flavors meld together.

Prepare the Tortillas:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Lightly spray or brush one side of each flour tortilla with cooking spray or oil.

Assemble the Pocket Tacos:

Place a few tablespoons of the seasoned ground beef mixture in the center of each tortilla.

Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese over the meat.

Fold the tortillas in half to create a pocket, pressing down gently to seal the edges.

Bake the Tacos:

Place the folded tortillas on a baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese is melted.

Add Toppings:

Carefully remove the tacos from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Open each taco slightly and fill with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, and chopped green onions.

Add sour cream and salsa if desired.
