Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a baking sheet or pizza pan with cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess grease.
Add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water to the cooked beef. Stir well and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and lay out the triangles in a circular shape on the prepared baking sheet, slightly overlapping the edges to form a ring.
Spoon the seasoned ground beef evenly around the base of the crescent roll ring, avoiding the center.
Sprinkle 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef layer.
Carefully fold the pointed tips of the crescent rolls over the filling and tuck them under the base to seal the ring. Some filling may peek out, and that’s okay.
Bake the taco ring in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown.
While the taco ring bakes, prepare the toppings: chop the lettuce and tomatoes, and slice the black olives.
Remove the taco ring from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Garnish the taco ring with the chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, black olives, and a dollop of sour cream in the center.
Slice into individual servings and enjoy!
