Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 cans (8 oz each) Canned crescent rolls
- 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Sliced black olives
- 2 tbsp Chopped cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a large baking sheet or pizza pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
Add the taco seasoning packet and 1/4 cup of water to the cooked beef. Stir well to combine, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture is evenly coated and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Open the cans of crescent rolls and separate the dough into individual triangles. Arrange the triangles in a circular pattern on the prepared baking sheet or pizza pan, with the wide ends overlapping in the center to create a ring (the points of the triangles will face outward, creating a sunburst shape).
Spoon the seasoned beef mixture evenly onto the wide ends of the crescent rolls, then sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the beef.
Fold the pointed ends of the crescent rolls over the beef and cheese, tucking them under the wide ends in the center of the ring. Continue until the entire ring is enclosed, leaving small gaps where the filling is visible.
Bake the taco ring in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the taco ring from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish the center of the ring with sour cream, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, and chopped cilantro if using.
Slice into portions and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious Taco Ring My Version!
