Quick and Easy Taco Ring
December is always a busy month for my family, so easy dinners are a lifesaver! This taco ring has been a favorite of ours and I love it for so many reasons. One- my family is obsessed with taco anything. (So I know my picky eaters will enjoy it!) Two- you only need a few ingredients to whip it up, one of them being packaged crescent rolls. It only takes about 30 minutes to make this taco ring from start to finish, which is great for busy weeknights! And not only is it quick and easy, but SO delicious. The pieces of crescent roll dough are topped with seasoned ground beef and a pile of colby jack cheese that gets all nice and melty once it’s baked. It’s so easy to grab a piece, you can enjoy it as-is or with all of your favorite taco fixings! My family loves guacamole, sour cream, olives, and either chopped tomatoes or pico de gallo.
4 Ingredients to Make It
The short ingredient list makes this taco ring recipe a winner in my book. I usually have everything on hand, no need to make a run to the grocery store! (Exact measurements are in the recipe card at the end of the post.)
Lean Ground Beef: The hearty base for your taco ring! You can also use ground turkey if you wish. Taco Seasoning: This has all the spices you need (chili powder, cumin, etc.) for amazing taco flavor. Buy your favorite prepackaged kind or make your own. Packaged Crescent Rolls: These form the ring around your delicious filling. Shredded Colby Jack Cheese: Melty, golden goodness! I love colby jack, but feel free to swap in your favorite cheese. Cheddar, pepper jack, or a Mexican blend all work great. Toppings: I know I said 4 ingredients, but I thought I would include some toppings because they make the dish even better. Think shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sour cream, salsa, or any of your other favorites!
