Mexican Taco Ring Food

TACO RING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 12 cup bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Heat vegetable oil in a saute pan over medium high heat. Add the ground beef and brown until cooked through.
• Add the tacos seasoning along with ¼ cup water. Stir until combined. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
• Place crescent rolls in the bundt pan by placing the thinner side of the triangle in the pan coming up a few inches on the tube of the pan. Allow the large side to rest on the outer edge of the pan.
• Mix remaining shredded cheese with the seasoned beef and add it to the pan. Fold the larger ends of the crescent rolls over the mixture. There should be a small gap between each roll.
• Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
• Turn out onto a sheet tray and sprinkle with remaining shredded cheese. Place back in oven until cheese has melted, about 5 minutes.
• Allow to rest for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
• When ready to serve, place a small bowl in the center of the ring to create a bowl. Fill with guacamole then top with salsa. Garnish the ring with sliced scallions.

TACO RING

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Mix water and taco seasoning mix into ground beef; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until water is evaporated, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix ground beef mixture, 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese, and 1/2 of the sour cream together in a bowl.
• Roll crescent roll dough out onto a baking stone in the shape of a sunflower, with the triangle points pointing outward. Spread ground beef mixture onto dough in a circular shape. Wrap pointed end of dough around the beef mixture, sealing to the other end of dough making a ring-shape.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Serve alongside the remaining Cheddar cheese and sour cream.

MEXICAN TACO RING

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef and onion in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Add water and taco seasoning to beef mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until water is evaporated, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Remove crescent roll dough from packaging and separate into individual pieces.
• Arrange crescent roll triangles in a circle with the points facing outward on a pizza stone or pan. Spoon ground beef mixture into the center of each dough piece, creating a ring shape. Sprinkle Mexican cheese blend over ground beef mixture. Fold crescent roll points toward the middle, sealing the dough together.
• Bake in the preheated oven until dough is lightly browned, 11 to 13 minutes.

CHICKEN TACO RING

Steps:

• Cook chicken breasts. Cool and dice into ½ inch pieces.
• Combine chicken, taco seasoning, and cheese in a bowl and mix.
• Microwave 2 min., until cheese melts.
• Add salsa (½ of the sour cream may be added at this time) and mix well.
• To assemble ring: Unroll the crescent rolls and separate into 16 triangles. Arrange triangles in a circle on a cookie sheet or pizza pan (I lightly spray with Pam) with the wide ends of triangles overlapping towards center of pan and points hanging over edge of pan. (There should be about a 7 - 10 inch opening in center of pan).
• Scoop the meat mixture evenly onto the widest end of the triangles. Bring points up over the filling and tuck under wide ends of dough at center of ring. (Filling will not be completely covered)
• Bake 20-25 minute @ 375 or until golden brown.
• Serve with sour cream and/or salsa.

TACO RING

Steps:

• 1. On a nonstick round pizza pan, lay the crescent rolls out with the large triangle end on the inside, each side touching, with the pointed end hanging over the edge.
• 2. In a skillet, brown the ground beef with the taco seasoning until done. Drain.
• 3. Place the cooked, ground beef on the ring of crescent rolls in a circle. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Bring the pointed ends of the rolls up and over the ground beef and cheese mixture and tuck the end under the middle.
• 4. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes until the crescent rolls are golden brown.
• 5. While the ring bakes, chop the remaining vegetables. When the ring is baked and has slightly cooled (you dont want this cold or scorching hot) place all the veggies in the middle of the ring, slice and serve it with a wedge of lemon or lime and a dollop of sour cream on top with some salsa.
