Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning mix
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 cup chopped tomatoes
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup sliced black olives
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
• 2 tablespoons jalapeño slices
• 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a large round baking sheet or pizza pan with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned and no pink remains. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Add the taco seasoning mix and 2 tablespoons of water to the cooked beef. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes until well combined and heated through. Remove from heat to cool slightly.

Step 4

Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into triangles. Arrange the triangles in a circular pattern on the prepared baking sheet, with the wide ends overlapping in the center to form a ring and the pointed ends facing outward.

Step 5

Spoon the cooked taco meat evenly around the wide ends of the crescent dough ring. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the meat.

Step 6

Fold the pointed ends of the crescent dough over the filling and tuck them under the wide ends to secure the wreath shape. Some filling will remain visible.

Step 7

Bake the wreath in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and fully cooked.

Step 8

Remove the wreath from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, if desired.

Step 9

Top the taco crescent wreath with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sour cream, black olives, green onions, and jalapeño slices as garnish.

Step 10

Slice into portions and serve warm. Enjoy!
