Ingredients

For the filling:

• 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning mix
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

For the dough:

• 2 cans (8 oz each) crescent roll dough

Optional toppings:

• 1 egg (beaten, for brushing)
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano or parsley
• 1/4 cup shredded cheese (for topping, optional)

For serving:

• Sour cream
• Salsa
• Guacamole
• Chopped lettuce and diced tomatoes

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease or line a round baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2: Cook the Taco Filling

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned.
2. Drain any excess grease, then add the taco seasoning mix and water. Stir and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes until fully combined.
3. Remove from heat and mix in the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. Set aside.

Step 3: Arrange the Crescent Rolls

1. On the prepared baking sheet, lay out the crescent roll triangles in a circular pattern, with the wider ends overlapping in the center and the pointed ends facing outward like a sun.
2. Press the overlapping dough in the center to form a sturdy base.

Step 4: Add the Filling

1. Spoon the prepared taco filling along the wider ends of the crescent dough.
2. Fold the pointed ends of the dough over the filling, tucking them under the base to secure.

Step 5: Finish and Bake

1. Brush the top of the dough with beaten egg for a shiny, golden crust.
2. Sprinkle oregano or parsley and additional shredded cheese over the top if desired.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 6: Serve

Let the taco ring cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or your favorite taco toppings on the side.

Tips for Success

• Add a bit of heat by mixing chopped jalapeños into the taco filling.
• Ensure the dough overlaps properly to prevent any filling from spilling out during baking.
• For a vegetarian twist, substitute the beef with cooked black beans or sautéed vegetables.

Conclusion
This taco crescent roll ring is a creative and delicious way to serve tacos. The crispy crescent roll dough paired with a cheesy taco filling makes it a crowd-pleaser for any occasion. Easy to make and fun to eat, it’s a guaranteed hit with friends and family.
