Taco-Stuffed Triangles

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons Old El Pasoβ„’ taco seasoning mix (from 1-oz package)
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup mild salsa
  • 1/2 cup finely shredded Cheddar cheese (2 oz)
  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
  • Shredded lettuce, additional shredded Cheddar cheese and tomatoes, as desired

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 375Β°F. In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until no longer pink; drain. Add taco seasoning mix and water. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly; stir in salsa. Remove from heat; cool slightly. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese.
  2. Unroll dough; separate into 8 triangles. Place 4 triangles on ungreased cookie sheet, and gently press so wide end of triangle is about 4 inches across. Place about 1/3 cup filling on top of each triangle, spreading within 1/2 inch of edge.
  3. Gently stretch remaining 4 triangles; turn over onto filled triangles, firmly pressing edges with fork to seal. With fork, prick top of each to allow steam to escape.
  4. Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cool 5 minutes; remove from cookie sheet. Serve with traditional taco toppings (lettuce, cheese and tomatoes).
