Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • Crescent Roll Dough (1 package)

Meat Filling

  • 1 lb Ground Beef or Ground Turkey
  • 1 packet Taco Seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons Water (or as per taco seasoning instructions)

Toppings

  • 1 to 1 ½ cups Shredded Cheese (Cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • ½ cup Diced Tomatoes or Salsa
  • 2 Green Onions, sliced
  • Optional: Jalapeños (chopped) or Olives (sliced) to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Brown the ground beef or turkey in a skillet over medium heat. Once fully cooked, drain any excess fat. Stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water, then simmer briefly to let flavors meld.
  2. Lay Out the Dough: On a large baking sheet, arrange the crescent roll dough triangles in a circular pattern with their pointed ends facing outward. Overlap the edges slightly to form a continuous ring.
  3. Add the Filling: Evenly spread the seasoned meat mixture over the center of the dough ring, keeping the outer dough edges clear for folding later.
  4. Sprinkle Cheese and Extras: Generously top the meat with shredded cheese, diced tomatoes or salsa, green onions, and any optional jalapeños or olives.
  5. Fold the Dough: Fold the pointed dough triangles over the filling toward the center. Tuck each tip underneath the ring to seal it tightly and hold the filling in place.
  6. Bake Until Golden: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the assembled taco ring for 15–20 minutes until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the taco ring rest for a few minutes after baking, then slice into wedges. Serve warm to enjoy the melty, flavorful layers.

Notes

  • Distribute filling evenly to ensure balanced flavor in every slice.
  • Avoid overfilling to prevent dough tearing or spilling.
  • Use a sharp knife when slicing to keep neat wedges and maintain the ring’s shape.
  • Customize spices according to your taste, adding more or less taco seasoning as desired.
  • Assemble the ring ahead of time and refrigerate for up to an hour before baking to save prep time.
