How to make a taco ring

1. How to Make Ground Beef for Tacos with Taco Seasoning (according to the recipe below). Then mix with 1/2 cup grated cheese.
2. Lay out the crescent rolls in a circle, with the tips touching at the bottom edges. You need about a 4 inch circle in the middle.
3. Place a ball of the meat and cheese mixture in the center of each roll and then fold the top of the triangle over the bottom of the triangle and tuck this point underneath.
4. Bake until tops are lightly browned.

Tips for a perfect taco ring

Working with croissant dough isn’t difficult, but there are a few tricks that make it easier.

• Substitute ground chicken or ground turkey for the beef. Chilled beans can be added to the bottom layer of batter.
• Make sure the croissant dough is chilled. This facilitates processing and prevents tearing
• Slightly chill the ground beef mixture before assembling the ring (or chill completely if you’re making it ahead of time) to avoid heating the dough.
• Gently shape the crescent roll pieces to ensure an even ring.
• Use parchment paper to prevent sticking while baking.

Let cool and then serve with your favorite toppings. We love a variety of classic taco toppings like pico de gallo or salsa, black olives, avocados, shredded lettuce, or guacamole.
