- Take a portion of the seasoned beef mix and spread it evenly over each rectangle of dough.

- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve with salsa and sour cream for dipping. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
Notes
You can customize the filling by adding diced bell peppers, onions, or jalapeños for extra flavor.
For a vegetarian option, replace ground beef with black beans or seasoned tofu.
These taco sticks can be made ahead of time and frozen. Just bake for a few minutes longer if baking from frozen.
