Taco Ring Ingredients:
- 2 (8 oz.) cans of crescent rolls
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- 1 (1 oz.) package Old El Paso Taco Seasoning mix
- 1 cup shredded mexican cheese blend, plus extra for topping
- 1 1/2 cups shredded lettuce
- 2 roma tomatoes, chopped
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions

Directions:
Step 1: In a large skillet, cook and chop ground beef, until browned.
Step 2: Drain and return to the pan.
Step 3: Stir in taco seasoning and the water (from packet) and cook according to the package directions, just a few minutes until taco mixture has thickened.
Step 4: Remove from the heat and stir in 1 cup shredded cheese.
Step 5: Preheat oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit.
Step 6: On a large baking sheet, unroll the crescent rolls and separate into 16 individual triangles.
Step 7: To make the dough ring, begin laying out each crescent dough triangle with the wide edges inward to make a sun formation, overlapping the wide ends. Leave about a 5-inch circle in the middle.
Step 9: Once the triangles are all placed, spoon the cheese and taco-seasoned ground beef mixture around the inner part of the ring where the wide ends overlap to make a ring.
Step 10: Fold the short sides of the triangles over and tuck them under the inside of the circle.
Step 11: Once all of the crescents are folded over, bake for 20-25 min, until golden brown.
Step 12: Allow to cool slightly and then make a lettuce bed in the middle of the ring. Add tomatoes, green onions, and extra cheese on top of the lettuce.
To serve, cut a triangle out of the taco ring, and serve with sour cream or any of your favorite taco toppings.
