Ingredients:

• 2 tubes crescent rolls
• 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
• Shredded lettuce
• 1 or 2 diced tomatoes, depending on size
• 1/2 small can sliced olives, if desired
• Sour cream, optional
• Sliced avocado, optional

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat the oven to the temperature specified on the crescent roll package.
2. Prepare Crescent Ring:
   • Lay out the crescent rolls on a baking sheet, arranging them in a circle with the thick sides in. Use some of the leftover crescent rolls to make the center a bit thicker.
3. Cook Ground Beef:
   • Brown the ground beef (or turkey) and add the taco seasoning according to the package instructions.
4. Assemble Taco Ring:
   • Lay the cooked beef in a circle inside the crescent rolls. Add grated cheese on top. Pull over the crescent rolls and tuck them in under the meat and cheese.
5. Add Toppings:
   • Add additional toppings like shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced olives, and any other desired ingredients to the center of the crescent ring.
6. Bake:
   • Follow the cooking time specified on the crescent roll package until the crust is golden brown.
7. Serve:
   • Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Optionally, top with sour cream and sliced avocado.

Notes:

• Customize the fillings to suit your taste, adding ingredients like diced onions, jalapeños, or black beans.
• Keep an eye on the crescent ring while baking to prevent over-browning. Oven temperatures may vary
