Taco sticks are a quick and easy snack combining seasoned taco meat, gooey melted cheese, and flaky dough into a portable, dippable treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water (egg wash)
  • Fresh cilantro (optional)
  • Dipping sauces: salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or queso

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, cook 1 pound of ground beef over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Break up the meat with a spoon as it cooks.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning to the cooked beef. Mix well and let it cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
  4. Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. Roll out the dough slightly to make it thinner for crispier taco sticks.
  5. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the taco mixture onto the widest part of each triangle. Sprinkle shredded cheese (about 1 tablespoon) on top of the meat.
  6. Roll each triangle up tightly, starting from the wide end and rolling toward the point. Press the edges to seal the filling inside.
  7. Place the rolled taco sticks onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
  8. Brush the tops of the taco sticks with a light layer of egg wash.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the dough is fully cooked.
  10. Remove from the oven and let the taco sticks cool slightly before garnishing with freshly chopped cilantro (optional).
  11. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

[‘Don’t overfill the dough to prevent tearing.’, ‘Seal edges tightly to avoid filling spilling out during baking.’, ‘Cool the meat mixture slightly before adding to the dough to prevent soggy dough.’, ‘Customize the spice level to your preference.’, ‘Egg wash ensures a golden, bakery-style finish.’]
