A Crescent Taco Ring is a great way to change up taco night. It’s super affordable and a fun way to eat tacos.
When I made this taco crescent ring, my family couldn’t get enough of the cheesy, meat filled crescent rolls with all the topping piled in the center. It quickly became a favorite request in our house.
This dish also make a perfect appetizer or potluck party recipe as you can easily customize the toppings to suit your guests or family’s tastes.

How to Make a Taco Crescent Roll Ring
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Brown ground beef and saute onions in the pan together. Drain excess grease. Add taco seasoning, stir together and set aside.
On a pizza pan, arrange the crescent roll triangles in a circle overlapping with the points facing outward hanging off the pan and the center left open.
Spoon the beef mixture evenly around the ring of the dough. Sprinkle 1 cups shredded cheese over top.
Fold the points over and to the center and press to the inner edge to seal.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Fill the empty circle with your favorite taco fillings, remaining cheese, sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, etc. Cut into slices and serve.
