Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces (1 can, 8 oz) Crescent roll dough
- 0.5 pounds Ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Sliced jalapeños (optional)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet, then add the taco seasoning and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
On each triangle, place a spoonful of the seasoned ground beef near the wider end. Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the beef. Add a slice of jalapeño if desired.
Roll up the triangles, starting from the wider end and rolling toward the pointed tip. Place them tip-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve with sour cream for dipping and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
