Taco Crescents
Taco Crescents - taco meat, cream cheese and cheddar wrapped in crescent rolls. Great for a quick dinner or party!! serve with a salsa ranch dipping sauce.
You can make the meat mixture ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake the crescents. I like to do bite size crescents. I split the crescent roll in half to make two triangles. Feel free to skip that and just put double the meat on one full crescent roll.
I used lean ground beef, low fat cream cheese and low fat crescent rolls and I couldn't tell a difference. I served the crescents with a little salsa and ranch for dipping. These Taco Crescents are great for a quick lunch or dinner. They would even be perfect for tailgating! I can't wait for college football next week! Are you as excited as I am?!?
