I talked about my son bringing me home a taco pocket from school yesterday. A little questionable in his friend's used chips bag, but still a very nice gesture. I picked him up from school yesterday and couldn't wait to get home for me to try it. So I dusted off the old chips left over in the bag and warmed it up. It was softer than I expected. I went for it and took a bite. It looked like an empanada but it tasted like a tamale. The outer dough was very masa like and the filling was like a tamale. It wasn't bad at all. Jack was pumped I finally tried a taco pocket. I ate half and gave the other half to him. The taco pocket taste test is in the books!
