Delicious cheesy taco sticks recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Ground beef: 1 pound
  • Taco seasoning: 1 packet
  • Water: 1/2 cup
  • Refrigerated crescent roll dough: 1 can (8 count)
  • Shredded cheddar cheese: 1 cup
  • Shredded Monterey Jack cheese: 1 cup
  • Sour cream: 1/2 cup (for serving)
  • Salsa: 1/2 cup (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Step 2: Stir in taco seasoning and water into the cooked ground beef. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed.
  3. Step 3: Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into triangles. Sprinkle half of the triangles with cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, then top with the seasoned ground beef mixture.
  4. Step 4: Cover with the remaining crescent roll triangles, pressing the edges to seal. Cut each rectangle into sticks, about 1 inch wide.
  5. Step 5: Place the taco sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  6. Step 6: Serve warm with sour cream and salsa for dipping.

Notes

  • Store leftover cheesy taco sticks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For best results, reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer to retain their crispy texture.
  • Serve these taco sticks as a fun appetizer or snack at your next party, alongside guacamole and a variety of hot sauces.
  • To prevent soggy sticks, ensure the beef mixture is fully drained and slightly cooled before adding it to the crescent roll dough.
