Ingredients
→ Main Components:
1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
1 pound lean ground beef (at least 80% lean)
¾ cup thick and chunky salsa
2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
→ Garnishes:
Shredded lettuce (to taste)
Diced tomato (to taste)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Unroll crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles.
Press dough into a 9-inch square pan or 10-inch pie plate, covering the bottom and sides to form a crust.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef for 8–10 minutes, until browned. Drain fat.
Add salsa and taco seasoning to the beef. Stir and let simmer for 5 minutes.
Spoon beef mixture evenly into the crescent crust. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and cheese is melted.
Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes. Serve warm.
Notes
For extra crunch, add crushed tortilla chips on top before baking.
Use spicy salsa or pepper jack cheese for added heat.
Letting it rest before slicing helps hold the shape.
