Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 1 tube Pillsbury Pizza Dough
- 5 colby jack and cheddar cheese sticks, halved
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly coat a large baking sheet with non-stick spray. Cook ground beef in a skillet until browned and crumbled, drain fat, mix in taco seasoning (no water), and cool to room temperature.
- Spread pizza dough flat, cut in half lengthwise then into 4 cuts across to make 10 rectangles. Place 1 tablespoon taco meat and a halved cheese stick in center of each, roll up tightly, and pinch seams closed.
- Mix melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley; brush on tops. Bake 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Serve hot with salsa, sour cream, or other taco toppings.
Notes
Use 2 tubes of pizza dough if you prefer larger sticks with more filling. Ground turkey can substitute for beef for a lighter option. Watch closely to avoid overbrowning bottoms.
