Variation Ideas

• You can easily use ground chicken or ground turkey instead of the beef in this recipe.
• Add onion to the ground beef when browning. Then add the beef and onion mixture to the taco ring.
• If you’re worried about it being too spicy, use water and taco seasoning instead of the salsa in the beef mixture.
• You can use a crescent roll sheet or pastry instead of crescent rolls. Just cut them into triangles to assemble the taco ring.

How to Make Taco Crescent Roll Ring

Step 1 – First, go ahead and pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F.

Step 2 – Next, brown the lean ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until no longer pink and fully cooked through.

Step 3 – Stir ¼ cup of the salsa and package taco seasoning and cook for 3-5 minutes.

Step 4 – Then mix in 1 cup of the shredded cheese.

Step 5 – Unroll the crescent rolls. Next place the ground beef mixture on the center part of the rolls and top with the remaining shredded cheese.

Step 6 – Then fold each short sides of triangles over the filling and tuck it in under the center of the ring.  I pressed it slightly to the other dough to make sure it doesn’t come undone while baking.

Step 7 – Then bake for 20-25 minutes until the dough is a lightly golden brown color.  Let is cool slightly and then serve with the lettuce, tomatoes and jalapeño.

Recipe Tips

Here are a few tips to making with crescent roll dough even easier.

• Working with the Dough – Make sure that the dough ring is cold. The dough can be sticky but will be less sticky when it’s cold.
• Making the triangles – Separate the dough into the individual dough triangles before forming the taco ring.
• Preparing Ingredients – Make sure that the beef mixture is ready before assembling the taco ring so that the dough doesn’t get too warm.
• Cookie Sheet – We used a regular baking sheet but you can also use a pizza stone.
