Tacoring Recipes

TACO CRESCENT RING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef until no longer pink. Add taco seasoning mix and 1/2 cup water. Simmer 3 to 4 minutes or until slightly thickened. In medium bowl, mix beef mixture and cheese.
• Unroll both cans of dough; separate into 16 triangles. On ungreased large cookie sheet, arrange triangles in ring so short sides of triangles form a 5-inch circle in center. Dough will overlap. Dough ring should look like the sun.
• Spoon beef mixture on the half of each triangle closest to center of ring.
• Bring each dough triangle up over filling, tucking dough under bottom layer of dough to secure it. Repeat around ring until entire filling is enclosed (some filling might show a little).
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until dough is golden brown and thoroughly baked. Cool 5 to 10 minutes before cutting into serving slices.

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.

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.

CRUNCHY TACO RING RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the red bell pepper and jalapeño. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
• Add the ground beef, breaking apart with your spoon, and mix into the other ingredients. Add the taco seasoning and the lime juice. Mix thoroughly, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use.
• On a cutting board, place the stack of tortillas. Cut off two round sides of the tortillas, leaving a 4-inch (10-cm) wide middle section. Cut the middle section in half vertically.
• Generously spray a bundt pan with nonstick spray.
• Place the middle strips of tortilla in the bundt pan in a fanning pattern. Each tortillas strip should slightly overlap the previous strip. Sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese on top of the tortillas.
• Spread half of the ground beef mixture on top of the cheese.
• Place a third of the round strips of tortilla on top of the ground beef mixture in a fanning pattern. Sprinkle half of the Monterey Jack on top of the tortillas. Sprinkle the tortilla chips on top of the cheese.
• Place another third of the round strips of tortilla on top of the chips in a fanning pattern. Sprinkle the rest of the cheddar cheese on top of the tortillas. Spread the rest of the ground beef mixture on top of the cheese. Sprinkle the rest of the Monterey Jack on top of the ground beef mixture. Place the rest of the tortillas on top of the cheese in a fanning pattern.
• Bake for 45 minutes until crispy and browned.
• Let cool for 20 minutes.
• Place a plate on top of the bundt pan, and invert the ring onto the plate.
• Slice and serve with salsa.
• Enjoy!

TACO RING (FROM PAMPERED CHEF)

Steps:

• Cook ground beef in large skillet over medium heat 7-9 minutes or until beef is no longer pink; drain.
• Remove pan from heat.
• Stir in taco seasoning mix, cheese and water.
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Unroll crescent dough; separate into triangles.
• Arrange triangles in a circle on Classic Round Pizza Stone with wide ends overlapping in center and points toward outside. (There should be a 5 inch diameter opening in center.) I use my Pampered Chef pizza stone, but any flat round pan should work--perhaps even a pizza sheet, but I'd spray it with Pam before adding the crescent rolls.
• Scoop meat mixture evenly onto widest end of each triangles up over filling and tuck under wide ends of dough at center of ring. (Filling will not be completely covered).
• Bake at 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
• Shred lettuce and chop tomato, onion, olives, and bell pepper (if desired).
• If you want to do something fancy, scoop out a bell pepper and fill with salsa and put into center of ring.
• Add your toppings to top of ring and finish with more shredded cheese and sour cream.
• This is great with a salad.
