Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup sliced black olives
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons jalapeño slices
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a large round baking sheet or pizza pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned and no pink remains. Drain any excess grease.
Add the taco seasoning mix and 2 tablespoons of water to the cooked beef. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes until well combined and heated through. Remove from heat to cool slightly.
Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into triangles. Arrange the triangles in a circular pattern on the prepared baking sheet, with the wide ends overlapping in the center to form a ring and the pointed ends facing outward.
Spoon the cooked taco meat evenly around the wide ends of the crescent dough ring. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the meat.
Fold the pointed ends of the crescent dough over the filling and tuck them under the wide ends to secure the wreath shape. Some filling will remain visible.
Bake the wreath in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
Remove the wreath from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, if desired.
Top the taco crescent wreath with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sour cream, black olives, green onions, and jalapeño slices as garnish.
Slice into portions and serve warm. Enjoy!
