Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 cans Crescent roll dough
• 0.25 cup Jalapeño slices (optional)
• 1 cup Lettuce, shredded (for garnish)
• 1 Tomato, diced (for garnish)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (for serving)
• 0.5 cup Salsa (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned, breaking it up as it cooks, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 3

Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then stir in the taco seasoning and water. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the beef is evenly coated and the liquid is absorbed. Remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

Mix the shredded cheddar cheese into the taco meat until well combined.

Step 5

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Arrange the triangles in a circle on the prepared baking sheet, with the wide ends overlapping in the center and the points facing outward, creating a sunburst shape.

Step 6

Spoon the taco meat mixture evenly onto the wide ends of the crescent triangles. Leave the pointed ends uncovered.

Step 7

Carefully fold the points of the triangles over the filling and tuck them under the wide ends to form a ring. Press to seal the dough as much as possible.

Step 8

If desired, arrange jalapeño slices on top of the dough for added spice.

Step 9

Bake the taco ring in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the taco ring from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before transferring it to a serving platter.

Step 11

Garnish with shredded lettuce and diced tomato in the center of the ring. Serve with sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping.
