Instructions

Creating Cream Cheese and Salsa Pockets is straightforward. Follow these steps for a delicious result:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by greasing it lightly with cooking spray or olive oil.
2. Prepare the Dough: Open the package of crescent roll dough and unroll it onto a clean surface, separating it into individual triangles.
3. Mix Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, salsa, shredded cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well blended.
4. Fill the Dough: Take a spoonful of the filling and place it at the wide end of each crescent triangle.
5. Fold the Dough: Carefully roll the dough from the wide end to the pointed end, encasing the filling. Press the edges to seal well.
6. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the filled pockets on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Cool: Once baked, remove the pockets from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
9. Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle chopped cilantro over the pockets for an added touch of freshness.
10. Serve: Enjoy warm with extra salsa on the side for dipping.
