Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels (cooked or canned, drained)
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup sliced black olives
- 0.25 cup diced green onions
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Unroll the crescent roll dough into a rectangular baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches), pressing the seams together to form an even crust.
Bake the crescent roll crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and let cool completely.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning. Mix 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 with black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, black olives, and green onions, spreading them evenly over the surface.
If desired, sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top for added color and flavor.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and for the layers to set.
Cut into squares and serve cold. Enjoy your Southwestern Snack Squares!
