TACO PIZZA ROLLS
I was brainstorming dinner ideas and thought why not do a Mexican version of these Pizza Rolls? Taco Pizza Rolls!
I tried a couple of different versions. I like to complicate things.
I tried a version with crescent dough, a cream cheese/salsa sauce, taco meat, and cheese. Sounds good, right?
Well, the crescent dough was too soft to handle the wet filling and although the flavor was good, I decided I needed to simplify things.
My next version I made with just taco meat and cheese and decided that any other toppings could go on top. They were a total hit!
Start by browning some beef and seasoning it with some Old El Paso taco seasoning.
You want to make sure you break up the big chunks of beef so that it rolls easier. 
Sprinkle some Mexican blend cheese and roll it up as tight as you can starting with the long end of the rectangle.
Cut about 1-inch slices with a sharp serrated knife so that you don’t squish the dough.
Place them on your baking sheet…
…and bake them for 10-12 minutes or until the tops turn golden brown.
Then top your Taco Pizza Rolls with all of your favorite taco fixings: lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, pico de gallo or guacamole. Set up a toppings bar and let everyone design their own roll.
Enjoy!
