TACO CRESCENT WREATH



Taco Crescent Wreath image

This is a Tex-Mex twist on the veggie pizza. The wreath is a nice presentation for the holidays, but the crescent rolls can be rolled flat and baked for a more traditional pizza-type crust. I use my own fresh salsa for the topping (on the side), but a chunky bottled version would work. The chipotle chiles add a nice heat to the creamy layer and their amount can be adjusted to your tastes. This recipe is from a Pillsbury appetizer cookbook.
