Description
Delicious cheesy taco rolls with a crispy finish, perfect for a quick snack or appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Sour cream and salsa for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the taco seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add 1/4 cup of water and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Stir in the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses until well combined.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Place a generous spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture at the wide end of each triangle.
- Roll the dough from the wide end to the point, enclosing the filling. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg and drizzle with olive oil for extra crispiness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving with sour cream and salsa, if desired.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with black beans or lentils and add diced bell peppers.
- Add diced jalapeños or chopped green onions to the filling for an extra kick of flavor.
