Alright, all you might wanna sit down for this one. It’s a completely semi homemade Monica meal. (I really liked this TV show on the Food Network when I was younger and Mom had it on. It was Semi Homemade With Sandra Lee. I’m not sure why that’s stuck with me all these years but it did. It’s kinda my inspiration when cooking, at least hard core for this recipe.) So for this recipe I took premade dough so it would save me time and energy when cooking. This recipe is easier in my opinion and holds up better than regular tacos. It doesn’t get soggy or have a limit on how many toppings you can put on the Taco. (Okay there is a limit if your plate overflows then the limit has been reached.) Alright, enough intro. Now for the ingredients. You will find them below but please realize the toppings are just that. They are what I wanted/had for my tacos. Your welcome to add more options, even onions, if you want.
Ingredients:
Tacos:
◦ 1 pound ground beef (I usually get the more lean meat to just make it healthier and keep us eating less fat.)
◦ Taco Seasoning of Choice (I like the Old El Paso Taco Seasoning Mix in the Original Flavor. It isn’t too spicy and is packed with flavor. If you are using this you’ll want 2/3 cup of water for 1/4 cup of seasoning.
◦ 1 Container of Crescent Rolls (I prefer the Pillsbury Buttery Crescent Rolls)
Toppings:
◦ Tomatoes
◦ Black Olives
◦ Sour Cream
◦ Avocado
◦ Mexican Blend Cheese
◦ Lettuce
Recipe:
◦ Preheat you’re oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
◦ The first step is to brown the ground beef, once it is fully cooked drain the meat.
◦ From there you will add you’re taco seasoning and water into the ground beef.
◦ If you are using the Old El Paso Taco Mix then you will mix the seasoning into the ground beef bring it to a boil. Once it is boiling you will reduce the heat to a medium and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes letting it thicken up. (Most is the taco seasoning mixes will be the same).
◦ Once your meat is cooked you will open your crescent rolls and arrange them in a circle on the baking pan with the corners overlapping. (You’ll want to push the corners together to make them overlap.)
◦ Now you are going to put your taco seasoned meat into the base of the crescent rolls. You can stuff them as thin or as full as you like, personally I like to just evenly pour the meat into the crescent rolls.
◦ Then fold your crescent rolls back into shape.
◦ Now that your tacos are stuffed its time to toss them into the oven at 375 degrees for 11-13 minutes. When the timer goes off pull them out of the oven.
◦ Now its that time to cut your tacos into pieces. You will have eight tacos. I put two on a plate then fill it high with toppings.
◦ Last step stop and enjoy your tacos, you can thank me letter.
