Easy Ranch Taco Bites are a fun, quick, and flavorful appetizer or snack! Here’s a simple recipe to make them:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing (optional for extra flavor)
- Optional toppings: sour cream, salsa, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, jalapeños, cilantro
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). - Cook the Ground Beef:
In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat. Add the taco seasoning and water according to the seasoning packet instructions. Stir until combined and let it simmer for a few minutes. - Prepare Crescent Dough:
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into the pre-cut triangles. Lay the triangles in a muffin tin, pressing down gently in each muffin cup to create a little dough “cup.” - Assemble the Taco Bites:
Spoon a small amount of the cooked taco meat into each crescent dough cup. Top each with shredded cheddar cheese. - Bake:
Bake the taco bites in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden and the cheese is melted. - Garnish & Serve:
Optional: Drizzle with ranch dressing for extra flavor. Top with any desired toppings like sour cream, salsa, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, or jalapeños.
Enjoy your tasty Ranch Taco Bites! They’re perfect for a game day snack or a quick dinner!
