Never Think About What to Make for Dinner for the Next Two Months with My Lazy Cooking Bundle
Our family is obsessed with this easy, cheesy, homemade taco ring — my sons think it’s the best Mexican-style appetizer recipe I make! We start with crescent dough that is filled with hamburger, seasoning and plenty of cheese. (You could also use chicken if you prefer, making this super versatile.) Before serving, we top guacamole, sour cream, shredded lettuce, and salsa.
If you’re looking for Mexican inspired appetizers, try this Mexican Layered Salad or our easy Rolled Tacos. Everyone loves this seven layer dip, too.

How to Make a Taco Ring
Ready to get started on this ultimate stuffed Mexican taco ring recipe? You’ll be impressed by how fast it is to make.
In a large skillet heat olive oil. Add ground beef and taco seasoning and cook until meat has browned. Then remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On an ungreased large cookie sheet, arrange crescent dough triangles in ring so short sides of triangles form a 6-inch circle in the center. The dough will overlap.
Spoon ground beef over wide section close to the center. Sprinkle cheese on top.
Bring each triangle tip up over filling, tucking it under the bottom layer of dough to secure it.
How Long to Bake
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until ring turns a golden brown. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
What to Serve with a Taco Ring
Place a bowl of guacamole and salsa (try our restaurant style salsa!) in the center of the ring for dipping. Garnish with shredded lettuce, if desired. You can also serve with sour cream.
I love this easy taco ring recipe because the incorporation of crescent rolls makes it so simple to prepare. Plus it tastes amazing. You can’t really go wrong with beef and cheese. After trying it, I think you’ll agree that it is perfect for potlucks or as an appetizer.
