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 your oven to 350°F as directed on the crescent roll package. Unroll the crescent rolls and press them together on a cookie sheet, sealing the seams to create a solid crust. Bake until golden brown, then allow it to cool completely before moving on. You can also cover lightly and let it rest overnight at room temperature.
  2. Prepare the Taco Meat: While the crust cools, brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drain excess fat, add the taco seasoning and water according to the packet instructions, then simmer until the meat is coated and the sauce thickens. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Prepare Toppings: Dice the roma tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and jarred salsa until smooth to create your creamy pizza sauce.
  4. Assemble the Crescent Taco Pizza: Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crescent roll crust. Layer the seasoned taco meat over the creamy base, followed by diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar jack cheese, and finish with a layer of shredded lettuce. Pile the cheese and lettuce a bit thicker in the center for a flavor-packed bite.
  5. Serve: Slice the taco pizza into squares and serve immediately to enjoy a flavorful and fun meal that’s perfect for family or friends.

Notes

  • You can prepare the crescent roll crust a day ahead; simply cover and store at room temperature.
  • Use low-fat or fat-free cream cheese and sour cream for a lighter option.
  • Adjust the amount of taco seasoning or salsa based on your preferred spice level.
  • For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free crescent roll dough if available.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven for best texture.
