Ingredient

1/2 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
2 tablespoons from 1 container (6.25 oz) Old El Paso™ Original Taco Seasoning Mix
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup mild salsa
1/2 cup finely shredded Cheddar cheese (2 oz)
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count)
Shredded lettuce, additional shredded Cheddar cheese and tomatoes, as desired

Instructions

Step 1
Heat oven to 375°F. In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef over medium -high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until no longer pink; drain. Add taco seasoning mix and water. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly; stir in salsa. Remove from heat; cool slightly. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese.

Step 2
Unroll dough; separate into 4 (6x4-inch) rectangles. Place dough rectangle on ungreased cookie sheet; firmly press perforations to seal. Top short side of rectangle half with about 1/3 cup filling.

Step 3
Fold dough from top over filling; firmly press edges with fork to seal. With fork, prick top of each to allow steam to escape. Repeat for remaining dough and filling.

Step 4
Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cool 5 minutes; remove from cookie sheet. Serve with traditional taco toppings (lettuce, cheese and tomatoes).

Recipe Tips
