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:
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat the oven to the temperature specified on the crescent roll package.
- 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.
- Cook Ground Beef:
- Brown the ground beef (or turkey) and add the taco seasoning according to the package instructions.
- 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.
- Add Toppings:
- Add additional toppings like shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced olives, and any other desired ingredients to the center of the crescent ring.
- Bake:
- Follow the cooking time specified on the crescent roll package until the crust is golden brown.
- 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
