Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix
  • 1/4 cup water (approximate, for simmering)
  • 1/2 cup chopped onions
  • 1/2 cup chopped peppers

Cheese

  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey jack, pepper jack, or mozzarella)

Crust

  • 1 package Pillsbury crescent roll dough (or gluten-free crescent dough/puff pastry for gluten-free option)

Optional Toppings

  • Salsa
  • Sour cream
  • Guacamole
  • Sliced green onions
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Begin by browning your ground beef or turkey in a skillet over medium heat. Drain excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning mix and approximately 1/4 cup water. Let it simmer for a few minutes until fragrant and thickened.
  2. Assemble the Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Arrange the triangles in a circle with points facing outward, slightly overlapping to seal, forming the base of your taco ring.
  3. Add the Filling and Cheese: Spread the seasoned meat evenly over the center area of the dough circle, avoiding the edges. Sprinkle chopped onions, peppers, and a generous layer of shredded cheese on top for gooey goodness.
  4. Fold and Seal the Ring: Fold the dough triangle points over the filling, pinching ends underneath to secure the ring shape. This creates pockets of deliciousness and keeps everything intact during baking.
  5. Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake the taco ring in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes until dough is golden brown and cooked through, and cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  6. Serve Warm with Toppings: Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with your favorite salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or other toppings. Cut into wedges and serve immediately for best flavor.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill: Keep filling layer thin to avoid soggy dough and ensure even cooking.
  • Use room temperature dough for easier stretching and folding without tearing.
  • Seal edges well by pinching dough corners firmly to prevent leaks during baking.
  • Mix cheeses like sharp cheddar with mozzarella for balanced flavor and meltiness.
  • Allow ring to rest slightly before slicing to keep filling intact.
