Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup diced onions (optional)
- 1/4 cup diced green bell peppers (optional)
- 1 egg, beaten (for brushing)
For Serving
- Sour cream
- Salsa
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Cook Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess grease from the pan.
- Season Beef: Stir in the packet of taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water. Simmer the mixture for 3–5 minutes until the sauce thickens and flavors meld together.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles, creating the base for your roll-ups.
- Assemble Roll-Ups: On each dough triangle, spoon a portion of the seasoned beef mixture, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Add diced onions and green bell peppers if using.
- Roll: Starting at the wide end, carefully roll each triangle up toward the tip to enclose the filling inside.
- Brush Egg Wash: Place the roll-ups on the lined baking sheet and brush their tops evenly with the beaten egg to achieve a shiny, golden finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef for a lighter variation.
- Add chopped jalapeños for a spicy kick inside the roll-ups.
- These roll-ups are perfect for quick weeknight dinners or as tasty party appetizers.
