# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 lb ground beef
02 -
1 packet taco seasoning mix
03 -
1 tube Pillsbury Pizza Dough
04 -
5 colby jack and cheddar cheese sticks, halved
→ Seasoning and Topping
05 -
4 tablespoons butter, melted
06 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
07 -
1 teaspoon dried parsley
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Get your oven nice and hot at 400°F (200°C). Put some parchment paper on a baking tray so nothing sticks.
02 -
Toss your ground beef in a skillet on medium heat until it's no longer pink, breaking it up as you go. Pour off any extra grease. Mix in the taco seasoning just like the packet says. Set it aside when you're done.
03 -
Flatten out the Pillsbury Pizza Dough on a surface with a bit of flour. Slice it into 10 same-sized rectangles.
04 -
Drop some of your taco meat onto each dough piece. Top with half a cheese stick. Wrap the dough around everything, making sure to pinch the edges closed. Lay them on your lined baking tray with the sealed part facing down.
05 -
Mix your melted butter with the garlic powder and dried parsley in a small bowl. Use a brush to coat each wrapped stick with this tasty mix.
06 -
Stick them in your hot oven for about 12-15 minutes. They're ready when the outside turns golden and the dough is fully cooked.
07 -
Let them cool down a bit before you dig in. They taste amazing with some salsa, guacamole, or sour cream on the side!
# Additional Notes:
