Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef (or turkey)

1 packet taco seasoning

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1 (8 oz) package of crescent roll dough

1/2 cup salsa

1/4 cup chopped green onions

1 egg (for egg wash)

Optional: sour cream and guacamole for dipping

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Cook the meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat. Stir in the taco seasoning and cook according to package instructions, usually about 5 minutes, adding a bit of water if necessary.

      Mix the filling: Once the meat is cooked, remove from heat and let cool slightly. In a large bowl, combine the cooked meat, shredded cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, salsa, and chopped green onions. Mix until combined.

        Prepare the crescent dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and lay it out on a clean surface. If using a triangle-shaped dough, pinch the seams together to form a solid rectangle.

          Fill the dough: Spoon a generous amount of the meat and cheese mixture along the long edge of the dough rectangle, leaving about an inch border.

            Roll it up: Carefully roll the dough over the filling, starting from the filled edge. Press the edges to seal the roll.

              Cut into sticks: Cut the rolled dough into approximately 1-inch wide sticks and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

                Egg wash: In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush it over the tops of the taco sticks for a golden finish.

                  Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

                    Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with additional salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for dipping.
