Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 package Taco seasoning mix
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup Montgomery Jack cheese (shredded)
- 2 packages Refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 Egg
- 1 cup Salsa
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (for serving)
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce (optional)
- 1 cup Chopped tomatoes (optional)
- 0.5 cup Sliced black olives (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
Add the taco seasoning mix and water to the skillet. Cook while stirring for 2-3 minutes until the beef is well-coated and the liquid has mostly evaporated. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled taco meat with the shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese.
Open the crescent roll packages and separate the dough into individual triangles.
On a large baking sheet or a pizza stone, arrange the crescent triangles in a circular shape (like a sunburst) with the wide ends overlapping at the center and the points facing outward.
Spoon the taco meat and cheese mixture evenly around the wide ends of the crescent triangles near the center of the circle.
Fold the pointed tips of the triangles over the filling and tuck them under the wide ends to form a ring. The filling will still be visible between the dough sections.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and use a pastry brush to lightly brush it over the crescent dough for a golden finish.
Bake the taco ring in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the dough is golden brown.
Remove the taco ring from the oven and let it cool slightly before carefully transferring it to a serving platter.
Fill the center of the ring with salsa, and garnish with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, or olives if desired.
Cut into slices and serve with sour cream on the side. Enjoy!
