Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated pizza dough
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salsa and sour cream for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat, then stir in taco seasoning according to the packet instructions. Set aside.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle. Spread the cooked taco meat evenly over one half of the dough. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top of the meat.
- Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press the edges to seal. Cut the stuffed dough into strips about 1 inch wide. Twist each strip and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the twisted sticks with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve with salsa and sour cream for dipping.
