4. Pour the beef mixture evenly over the crescent sheet.
5. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top.

Slice into squares and serve with your favorite taco toppings. We love this bake with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and a little extra salsa on top.
Important Recipe Notes
- You can use ground turkey or ground chicken instead of beef if you prefer a lighter option.
- Make sure to pinch the seams of the dough well so the filling doesn’t leak through while baking.
- For cheese, cheddar works great, but you can mix in Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, or a Mexican cheese blend for extra flavor.
- You can prepare the beef mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble and bake.
