  • Author: Leo
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound ground beef or turkey
– 1 packet taco seasoning
– 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
– 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
– 1 cup salsa (mild or medium)
– Cooking spray
– Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, chopped green onions


Instructions

Creating Cheesy Taco Sticks can be fun and straightforward if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Cook Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or turkey until browned. Drain excess fat.

3. Add Seasoning: Stir in the taco seasoning and follow the instructions on the packet, typically adding a bit of water and letting simmer.

4. Prepare Dough: Open the crescent roll dough and unroll it on a clean, flat surface. Pinch seams together to form a rectangle.

5. Assemble Sticks: Spread a layer of cooked meat evenly on the dough, leaving about half an inch around the edges. Sprinkle cheese on top.

6. Cut Dough: Cut the dough into sticks about 1.5 inches wide.

7. Roll Up: Starting from one end, carefully roll each stick, sealing the edges as you go.

8. Place on Baking Sheet: Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and place the rolled sticks on it, seam-side down.

9. Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.

10. Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole if desired.
