Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef and cook for about 6–8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon until completely browned.
Drain any excess grease.
Step 2: Season the Beef
Add the taco seasoning and 1 tablespoon of water or beef broth.
Stir well and cook for about 1–2 minutes.
Add the diced tomatoes with green chiles and stir everything together.
Cook for another 2–3 minutes, then remove from the heat.
Allow the filling to cool slightly so it doesn’t make the crescent dough difficult to handle.
Step 3: Prepare the Crescent Dough
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a baking sheet.
Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles.
Place each triangle on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4: Fill the Crescents
Spoon a small amount of the taco beef mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle.
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the beef.
Be careful not to overfill them, or the filling may spill out during baking.
Step 5: Roll Them Up
Starting at the wide end, carefully roll each triangle toward the pointed end.
Tuck the sides in slightly as you roll to help keep the filling inside.
Place each crescent with the tip underneath so it doesn’t unravel.
Step 6: Add More Cheese
Sprinkle a little extra shredded cheese over the tops of the crescent rolls.
For extra flavor, you can also sprinkle a small amount of chopped parsley or cilantro over them.
Step 7: Bake
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
Bake for approximately 12–16 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are puffed and golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Step 8: Serve
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Serve warm with sour cream, salsa, guacamole, diced tomatoes, or shredded lettuce on the side.
These are best served fresh while the crescent dough is crisp and the cheese is still melted.
