Description

Cheesy Taco Sticks are a fun, easy-to-make snack or dinner, filled with ground beef, taco seasoning, cheese, and salsa, all wrapped in flaky crescent dough. Perfect for taco lovers!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 cup (115g) shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • ½ cup (120ml) salsa
  • 1 package refrigerated crescent rolls
  • Cooking spray
  • Optional add-ins: Sliced jalapeños, diced bell peppers, black olives, extra cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and diced onion until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Stir in taco seasoning and salsa, mixing until well combined.
  4. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into rectangles by pressing two triangles together.
  5. Spoon a bit of the taco filling onto each rectangle, sprinkle with cheese, and roll up the dough. Pinch the edges to seal.
  6. Place the assembled taco sticks on your baking sheet, spray lightly with cooking spray, and bake for 12–15 minutes until crisp and golden brown.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite taco toppings like sliced jalapeños, diced bell peppers, or black olives.
  • Adding extra cheese inside the taco stick makes them even more cheesy and delicious!
  • Ensure the edges are tightly sealed so the filling doesn’t leak out during baking.
