Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (8 oz each) crescent roll dough
- 8 oz (softened) cream cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 packet (about 1 oz) taco seasoning mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup sliced black olives
- 0.25 cup chopped green onions
- 0.25 cup jalapeño slices (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form an even crust. Seal any perforations in the dough by pinching them together.
Bake the dough in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning until smooth and well combined.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crescent roll crust.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Top the cheese layer with shredded lettuce, followed by diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, chopped green onions, and optional jalapeño slices for added heat.
Lightly press the toppings into the cream cheese layer to help them adhere.
Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and firm up the layers.
When ready to serve, cut the chilled snack into squares. Serve immediately and enjoy!
