TACO RING

Okay....here's the recipe, although y'all are going to be so disappointed....it's not any big deal. I hesitated to even post it because

a) I figured everyone already knew it.....and/or

b) it's like 3 ingredients....does that even count as a recipe???? :)

I originally found this recipe through Pampered Chef....they have many "rings" you can make....Taco Ring, a chicken ring, etc.etc. Anyway, here's what you need and how we make ours:

• 1 or 2 cans crescent rolls (the one pictured above was made with one can and served our family of 5 for dinner.....but no leftovers---so if you want, go ahead and make it bigger)


• 1 lb. hamburger meat + taco seasoning for the meat


• 1 cup grated medium cheddar cheese

Okay, I think it's best if you just look at the photo to figure out how to assemble. But here's a quick shot at it....

Brown you hamburger meat. Drain. Add in the taco seasonings, either from a packet/mix, or from your spice rack if you make your own. Separate the crescent rolls, you should have 8 individual pieces (triangle) from each can. Layer them in a circle with just a little piece of each touching the next one. It should look like rays of a sunshine. See the hole in the middle???

Now, lay the taco meat down in a ring around the crescent rolls, then top it off with the cheese. Next you are going to take those bottom tips of the crescent rolls (the pointy end of the sunshine ray) and lift them up and over the taco meat/cheese layer. Just sort of tuck them into the hole in the middle. Kind of pinching the tip down to meet the back side of the crescent.

Now bake it in a 350 degree oven until the crescent rolls look toasty brown.

Seriously....it's that easy.

And the fun part....even though we didn't show it this time....the middle hole? That's where you can put the chopped lettuce, tomatoes, avocados, corn, sour cream and salsa. Then you just cut off a wedge and scrape some of that inner goodness onto your plate with it!!

We have a great recipe for APPLE ENCHILADAS that we usually make for dessert on these Mexican nights.....if you want, we will try to post it soon! SO YUMMY!
