Taco Crescent Ring Recipe

You can’t go wrong with this taco crescent ring. If you love crescent rolls try Taco Pockets, Buffalo Chicken Crescent Ring, and Turkey and Cheese Crescent Roll Ups.
Crescent Roll Taco Ring Ingredients:
- Ground Beef
- Salsa
- Taco Seasoning (We like this Homemade Taco seasoning.)
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- Crescent Rolls
- Roma Tomato
- Iceberg Lettuce
- Jalapeño
How to make taco crescent roll ring:
First, go ahead and pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F.
Next, brown the ground beef in a large pan over medium heat until no longer pink and fully cooked through.
Stir ¼ cup of the salsa and taco seasoning and cook for 3-5 minutes.
Then mix in 1 cup of the shredded cheese.
Unroll the crescent rolls. On a large baking sheet or pizza pan arrange the crescent roll dough into a large sun pattern on the pan.
The short end should be on the inside and the point of the triangle should point outward. The crescent dough will overhang the pan and overlap each other.
Next place the beef mixture on the center part of the rolls and top with the remaining shredded cheese.
Then fold each triangle 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.
Then bake for 20-25 minutes until the dough is a lightly brown color. Let is cool slightly and then serve with the lettuce, tomatoes and jalapeño.
Enjoy! Keep reading for the full recipe.
Tips to work with Crescent Rolls:
