Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can crescent roll dough
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup diced bell peppers
  • ½ cup diced onions
  • ½ cup chopped tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: sour cream or guacamole for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add taco seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Break up large chunks and cook evenly. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Dice bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes. Chop fresh cilantro and set aside.
  4. Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles. Arrange in a circle on the prepared baking sheet with wide ends outward and points toward the center, leaving a small center gap.
  5. Layer the cooked beef in the center of the crescent ring. Add diced vegetables evenly over the beef. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  6. Fold crescent points over the filling, tucking them slightly under the wide ends to form a secure ring. Leave the center slightly open for melted cheese.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked. Watch carefully to prevent overbaking.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool 5–10 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
  9. Slice into wedges and serve with sour cream or guacamole if desired.

Notes

Customize with additional vegetables, different cheeses, or spicier seasoning.

Ensure the beef mixture is cooled slightly before adding to prevent dough from becoming soggy.

Use fresh crescent dough for the best flaky texture.
