Ingredients

Scale

For the crust:

  • 2 tubes refrigerated crescent rolls

For the creamy topping:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tbsp sour cream
  • 2 tbsp jarred salsa

For the taco meat:

  • 1 1/4 lb ground beef
  • 1 envelope taco seasoning

For the toppings:

  • 3 to 4 diced roma tomatoes
  • 4 to 5 oz shredded cheddar jack cheese
  • 1/2 oz bag shredded lettuce

Instructions

  1. Bake the Crescent Roll Base

    Preheat the oven to 350°F as specified on the crescent roll package instructions. Unroll the crescent rolls and spread them out across a cookie sheet, making sure to cover the surface and pinch together any seams to seal them. Bake according to the package instructions until golden brown. Once baked, let the crescent roll base cool completely on the counter before proceeding. You can also cool it, lightly cover with a paper towel, and leave it overnight at room temperature.

  2. Prepare the Taco Meat

    While the crescent roll base is cooling, brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once fully cooked, drain any excess fat, then add the taco seasoning and the amount of water specified on the seasoning packet. Stir well and simmer for a few minutes until the meat is thoroughly coated and sauce has thickened. Set aside and let it cool slightly.

  3. Prepare Toppings

    While the taco meat is simmering, dice the roma tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and jarred salsa. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended. This will be your creamy pizza ‘sauce’.

  4. Assemble the Crescent Taco Pizza

    Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the completely cooled crescent roll crust, then add the cooked taco meat, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar jack cheese, and shredded lettuce.

  5. Serve

    Cut the finished taco pizza into equal squares and serve immediately. Leftovers can be refrigerated for a day or two.
