- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Optional toppings
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons diced green onions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Add the ground beef to a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the ground beef until it’s browned, around 5-7 minutes.
- Drain any grease from the skillet.
- Add the taco seasoning and 1/4 water to the skillet and stir to combine all of the ingredients.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, then remove the skillet from the stove.
- Roll out the crescent rolls on a piece of parchment paper.
- Add a spoonful of the taco seasoned beef mixture about an inch from the top of each crescent roll dough triangle.
- Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the ground beef.
- Starting at the top of the crescent roll dough, roll the dough over the beef and cheese, and continue rolling up tightly.
- Fold any excess dough on the side over the top of the crescent roll.
- Transfer the taco crescent rolls to a baking sheet.
- Place in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and serve with toppings like sour cream and diced green onions, if you'd like.
Notes
- The nutritional information provided does not include the optional toppings.
- Ground turkey can be used in place of ground beef, if desired.
- You can prepare the taco seasoned ground beef ahead of time, but I recommend assembling and baking the taco rolls right before serving them for the best texture.
- If you have leftovers, or want to make the taco croissants ahead of time and reheat them, I recommend using the oven. Place the taco crescent rolls on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven with the broiler turned on to high. Cook for 3-5 minutes, but be sure to keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t burn under the broiler. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
- To make this recipe vegetarian, simply swap the ground beef for meatless crumbles, like Impossible meat, or swap in your favorite brand of soy chorizo.
