    Heat oven to 350°F. In 12-inch ovenproof skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until brown; drain. In small bowl, place 1/2 teaspoon of the taco seasoning mix; set aside. Add remaining seasoning mix and water to skillet. Heat to boiling.

Fold edges up and over cheese; pinch firmly to seal; roll into a ball. Place around edge of skillet with pinched end facing down.
