Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 1 tube Pillsbury Pizza Dough
- 5 colby jack and cheddar cheese sticks, halved
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
Drain excess fat.
Add taco seasoning (following package instructions), stir well, and set aside.
Roll out the Pillsbury Pizza Dough on a lightly floured surface.
Cut the dough into 10 equal rectangles.
Spoon a small portion of the taco beef onto each dough rectangle.
Place a halved cheese stick on top of the beef.
Roll the dough around the filling and pinch the edges to seal tightly.
Arrange the taco sticks seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley.
Brush this mixture generously over each taco stick.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
Allow the taco sticks to cool slightly before serving.
Serve with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for dipping.
