Taco Crescent Ring Pillsbury 450kb.jpg

While not actually a Mexican food, this is really tasty. My grandkidlets love helping me make it ... so much fun! You can substitute the ground beef for shredded chicken and it's very tasty as well. You can also use any taco mix. My DH is Mexican so of course, i prefer real Mexican food. My favorites are chilaquiles and queso fundido but I'd rather have them when dining out.

Pillsbury’s Taco Crescent Ring

• Prep Time 20 min
• Total 45 min
• Ingredients 6
• Servings 8

Ingredients​

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 packet (1 oz) Old El Paso™ Original Taco Seasoning Mix
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (4 oz)
• 2 cans (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count)
• Shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sliced ripe olives, taco sauce or salsa, as desired

Instructions​

Heat oven to 375°F. In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef until no longer pink. Drain beef; return to skillet. Add taco seasoning mix and 1/2 cup water. Simmer 3 to 4 minutes or until slightly thickened. In medium heatproof bowl, mix beef mixture and cheese. Let cool while preparing the crescent ring.

Unroll both cans of dough; separate into 16 triangles. On ungreased large cookie sheet, arrange triangles in ring so short sides of triangles form a 5-inch circle in center. Dough will overlap. Dough ring should look like the sun.

Spoon beef mixture on the half of each triangle closest to center of ring.

Bring each dough triangle up over filling, tucking dough under bottom layer of dough to secure it. Repeat around ring until entire filling is enclosed (some filling might show a little).

Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until dough is golden brown and thoroughly baked. Cool 5 to 10 minutes before cutting into serving slices.
