Mexican Beef Taco Ring

Posted by Holly Nelson on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 Under: Tummy Yummy Recipe of the Week
The original recipe calls for chicken and a few more ingredients. I didn't have chicken so I thought I would try something new. Thank goodness, it turned out to be a hit! Pictures are below.

Mexican Beef Taco Ring:
1 lb ground beef or turkey, cooked and drained
1 can green chilies
1 can black olives, chopped (optional)
2 C Mexican Cheese
1/4 C lime juice(or juice from 2 limes)
1 tomato, chopped
2 TBSP taco seasoning
2 cans crescents

1. Mix all ingredients , except for crescents
2. Grease pizza stone, lay out crescents into a ring. Pressing edges together
3. Spoon mixture onto the ring.
4. Lay pointed tips over the meat mixture. It will show through.
5. Bake on 2nd to bottom rack for 15 minutes at 375 degrees. The tops should be browned.
6. Serve with pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole, and lettuce.
  * You may also serve  with bean or cheese quesadillas, bean and cheese burritos, and chips and salsa. (That's what I do for my large family)

All the ingredients, except for black olives and crescents. I'm the only one that loves black olives. More for me!


To start the ring, press two fat-ends on the triangles together...and go on with the rest.


Voila` ! The ring is complete!

 
Spoon the mixture onto the fat part. Try not to make a huge mess like I do!


I added the black olives to the last third of my mixture, just for me!


Oh, I love Black olives! I used half of a small can, then ate the rest with a spoon! Now, you know a secret about me..Shh!


This is what it looks like before closing.....


And this is after, Isn't it pretty?


After it is cooked. If you are serving to friends, I suggest to slide off on stone onto a pretty platter. Garnish the openings with wedges of limes and tomatoes. Put the lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo in the middle. Sorry I don't have a pretty picture for that, I was just serving me and the boys the night I took these pictures. We don't require fanciness...sometimes....

 If you are serving a large family or crowd, make 2. Or like me, I serve with chips and salsa, quesadillas or bean burritos with cinnamon sugar tortillas.
