Ingredients
- 8 pieces (1 can, 8 oz) Crescent roll dough
- 0.5 pounds Ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Sliced jalapeños (optional)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks.
Step 3
Drain any excess fat from the skillet, then add the taco seasoning and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
Step 4
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
Step 5
On each triangle, place a spoonful of the seasoned ground beef near the wider end. Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the beef. Add a slice of jalapeño if desired.
Step 6
Roll up the triangles, starting from the wider end and rolling toward the pointed tip. Place them tip-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve with sour cream for dipping and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
