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 mozzarella or pepper jack cheese

For the crescent dough:

• 2 cans (8 oz each) crescent roll dough

For topping:

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

For serving:

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

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a round baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2: Prepare the Taco Filling

1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked.
2. Drain excess grease and stir in the taco seasoning mix and water. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened.
3. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.

Step 3: Assemble the Crescent Ring

1. On the prepared baking sheet, arrange the crescent roll triangles in a circular pattern with the wide ends overlapping in the center and the pointed ends facing outward like a sunburst.
2. Press the overlapping dough in the center to create a solid base.

Step 4: Fill and Fold

1. Spoon the taco filling evenly onto the wide ends of the crescent dough, leaving the pointed ends free.
2. Fold the pointed ends of the crescent dough over the filling and tuck them under the base to secure the ring.

Step 5: Add Toppings and Bake

1. Brush the dough with the beaten egg to give it a golden, glossy finish.
2. Sprinkle with dried oregano or parsley and additional cheese if desired.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown.

Step 6: Serve

Allow the taco crescent ring to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and your favorite taco toppings.

Tips for Success

• For extra flavor, add diced onions or bell peppers to the taco filling.
• Use freshly shredded cheese for the best texture and flavor.
• Keep the crescent rolls cold before assembling to make them easier to handle.
