Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper if desired for easy cleanup.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cooked ground beef, shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, and chopped green onions. Mix well.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 4 triangles.
- Using a rolling pin, flatten each crescent triangle slightly for easier rolling.
- Place a generous amount of the taco mixture onto the wider end of each triangle.
- Roll the dough starting from the wide end to the pointed end, tucking in the sides as you go to prevent the filling from spilling out.
- Place the rolled taco sticks seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the taco sticks with the beaten egg. If desired, sprinkle with taco seasoning for extra flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm with salsa on the side for dipping.
