Looking for a unique twist on traditional tacos? Look no further than the tantalizing taco ring.

The combination of savory beef, zesty salsa, and gooey cheese all enveloped in a warm, flaky crust, makes for a truly delightful flavor experience.

You’ll need:

• 1 teaspoon of olive oil
• 1 pound of ground beef
• 1 package of taco seasoning
• 2 cans of refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
• guacamole, optional topping
• salsa, optional topping
• sour cream, optional topping
• shredded lettuce, optional topping

PRO TIP:

It’s best to grate cheese at home as pre-shredded cheese tends to be coated with a preservative that prevents it from melting completely.

Substitutions And Additions

TOPPINGS: Add any of your favorite toppings in addition to the ones suggested. Black olives, tomatoes, jalapeños, or anything else you like to include in taco night offerings.

GROUND MEAT: Ground chicken, ground turkey, or ground pork would all work equally well in place of ground beef in this delicious recipe.

CHEESE: A Mexican cheese blend would offer a cheesy alternative to cheddar cheese in this tasty taco ring.

How To Make This Taco Ring Recipe

Once you prepare the fillings for the taco ring, you can wrap the flaky pastry around them and bake until the cheese is all melty and gooey.

STEP ONE: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil.

STEP TWO: Add the ground beef and taco seasoning mix, and cook until the meat has browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

STEP THREE: Preheat the oven to 375°F.

STEP FOUR: On an ungreased large baking sheet, arrange the crescent dough triangles in a ring so the short sides of the triangles form a 6-inch circle in the center. The dough will overlap.

STEP FIVE: Spoon the ground beef mixture over the wide section close to the center. Sprinkle the cheese on top.

STEP SIX: Bring each dough triangle tip up over the cheese and ground beef filling, tucking it under the bottom layer of dough to secure it.

STEP SEVEN: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the ring turns golden brown.

STEP EIGHT: Allow the taco ring to cool for 5 minutes before slicing.

STEP NINE: Place a bowl of guacamole and salsa in the center of the ring for dipping.

STEP TEN: Garnish with shredded lettuce, if desired.

How To Serve

Taco night just got even better with this tasty twist on regular tacos. Serve your taco crescent ring with your favorite taco toppings and include a bowl of guacamole, Pico de Gallo, and salsa for dipping.

For a heartier meal, you can also add in some refried beans, Spanish rice, or grilled veggies for a burst of flavor and texture.

Storage

After enjoying the flavors of this crowd-pleasing dish, it’s important to know how to preserve any leftovers properly. Let’s dive into some helpful tips and instructions!

IN THE FRIDGE: Once your meal is cooked and any leftovers remain, allow the taco ring to cool down to room temperature. Then, wrap it tightly with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. Properly stored, the taco ring will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

IN THE FREEZER: If you’d like to store leftovers of your taco ring for longer, wrap it tightly with plastic wrap, ensuring there are no exposed areas. For added protection against freezer burn, place the wrapped taco ring in a freezer-safe container or a heavy-duty freezer bag. When stored properly, your taco ring can be frozen for up to 3 months.

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.
