Description
Small, easy-to-eat appetizers combining taco flavors with pizza crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup taco seasoning mix (prepared with water as directed)
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a mini muffin pan.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. Cut each triangle in half crosswise.
- Press the dough pieces into the cups of the mini muffin pan, forming small shells.
- Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir the prepared taco seasoning into the cooked ground beef.
- Spoon about one teaspoon of the seasoned beef mixture into each dough cup.
- Top the beef with about one teaspoon of the shredded cheese blend.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Top each bite with a small dollop of salsa and sour cream. Sprinkle with cilantro before serving.
Notes
- You can use pre-cooked ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter option.
- Prepare the meat mixture ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to two days.
