How to Make a Taco Ring
Tips For a Perfect Taco Ring
Working with crescent dough is not difficult, but there are a few tricks to make it easier.
Swap the beef for ground chicken or ground turkey. Refried beans can be added to the bottom layer of dough. Ensure the crescent roll dough is chilled. This will make it easier to work with and prevent tearing Cool the ground beef mixture slightly before assembling the ring (or chill completely if making ahead) to avoid warming the dough. Gently shape the crescent roll pieces to ensure a uniform ring. Use parchment paper to prevent sticking during baking.
Cool, and then serve with your favorite toppings. We love an assortment of classic taco toppings like Pico de Gallo or salsa, black olives, avocados, shredded lettuce, or guacamole.
