Provided by taurusita

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 50m

Yield 6 squares, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (8 ounce) can crescent roll dough
1 1/2-2 lbs ground beef
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 (1 ounce) packages old el paso taco seasoning mix
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
0.5 (6 ounce) can water
1 (8 ounce) package shredded monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend
salt and pepper, to taste
2 medium tomatoes, finely diced and seasoned with a little salt and pepper
sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9x12 inch oblong pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Brown ground beef, then place in a colander to drain fat.
  • In the same pan, cook onions, then add cooked ground beef, taco seasoning mix, garlic powder, tomato paste and water (half of the empty tomato paste can filled with water). Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally until well combined and sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place taco beef in a colander to allow any excess sauce to drain (this will keep crust from getting soggy).
  • Place crescent roll dough in prepared pan, and spread out with fingers to touch the sides. Press down on perforated edges to close them.
  • Place drained taco beef on top of dough, then cover with shredded cheese.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until cheese is melted and dough is lightly browned.
  • Cut into squares and top each serving with diced tomatoes and a dollop of sour cream.
  • Makes 6 generous servings.
  • VARIATIONS: If desired, you can use light or fat free sour cream for the garnish. You can also substitute cheese with a package of shredded Mexican or Taco flavored cheese if you want.

Yield 48 appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (8 ounce) cans crescent rolls
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup chopped tomato
1/2 cup sliced ripe olives

1 (16 ounce) jar thick & chunky salsa

Steps:

  • Separate crescent dough into four long rectangles; place dough rectangles crosswise in an ungreased 15x10" baking pan; press dough over bottom and barely up sides of pan to form a crust; press dough perforations to seal.
  • Bake crust at 375°for 14 to 19 minutes or until light golden-brown; remove from oven and cool completely.
  • Spread beans over crust to within a half-inch of edges; stir together sour cream and taco seasoning mix, and spread this mixture over the beans; sprinkle onions, bell pepper, tomatoes, olives, green chiles, and cheese evenly over sour cream mixture.
  • Cover and refrigerate at least 20 minutes; cut into squares; serve with salsa.
  • NOTE: I like to spread the salsa evenly over the seasoned sour cream layer (just before sprinkling on the chopped veggies and cheese) rather than serve it on the side.

Tips:

  • You can use any type of cheese that you like for the filling, but cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and pepper jack cheese are all popular choices.
  • If you want a more flavorful filling, you can add diced onions, bell peppers, or jalapeños to the beef and black beans.
  • To make the squares easier to cut, let them cool slightly before slicing them.
  • Serve the squares warm with your favorite taco toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and shredded lettuce.
