Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 2 cups shredded cheese cheddar or Mexican blend
  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1/2 cup chopped onions optional
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives optional
  • 1 egg for egg wash
  • Chopped cilantro for garnish optional

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Skillet
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the meat with a splash of water and stir for 2 minutes until well combined.
  4. Unroll the crescent roll dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet, arranging the triangles overlapping in a circular ring shape.
  5. Spoon the cooked meat mixture into the center of the dough ring, leaving the outer edges clear.
  6. Top the meat with shredded cheese and drizzle salsa evenly over the filling.
  7. Fold the points of the crescent roll dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal the ring.
  8. Whisk the egg and brush the egg wash evenly over the assembled ring for a glossy finish.
  9. Bake the taco ring in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
  10. Allow the taco ring to rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with chopped cilantro and serve warm.
