Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef lean, for easy browning
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix plus water according to package directions
  • 1 tube refrigerated pizza dough about 13.8 oz
  • 5 cheese sticks Colby Jack, Cheddar, or Pepper Jack, halved lengthwise
  • 4 tablespoon butter melted, for brushing
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder for topping
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a large baking sheet with non-stick spray.
  2. Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up until fully browned and crumbly. Drain excess fat.
  3. Stir in the taco seasoning mix and the water specified on the package. Cook until the liquid evaporates, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Roll out the pizza dough and cut it into 10 small rectangles of roughly equal size.
  5. Place about 1 tablespoon of the cooked taco beef onto the center of each rectangle and top with a halved cheese stick. Carefully roll each dough rectangle into a stick, pinching seams closed.
  6. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Brush this mixture evenly over the tops of the taco sticks.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the sticks are golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
  8. Serve warm with salsa, sour cream, cilantro, or your favorite taco toppings.
