Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning 1.25-ounce
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup refried beans
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough 8-ounce
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 cup salsa
- Cilantro, olives, pickled jalapeños, sour cream Optional toppings
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add your ground beef. Use a spatula to break it apart as it cooks. Cook until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the browned beef. Pour in the water and stir to combine. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Add the refried beans to the beef mixture, stirring until well combined and heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Open the cans of crescent roll dough and separate them into individual triangles. Place a generous spoonful of the beef and bean mixture at the wide end of each triangle. Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
- Starting from the wide end, carefully roll the triangle up to the point to form a burrito shape. Pinch the seams to seal them tightly and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the burritos in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Serve the burritos warm with salsa, sour cream, cilantro, olives, and pickled jalapeños on the side. Enjoy!
