Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Dough:

  • 1 can refrigerated pizza dough

Taco Filling:

  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning

Cheese Blend:

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Additional:

  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salsa and sour cream for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook Ground Beef: In a skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat, then stir in taco seasoning according to the packet instructions. Set aside.
  3. Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle.
  4. Assemble: Spread the cooked taco meat evenly over one half of the dough. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top of the meat.
  5. Fold and Seal: Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press the edges to seal.
  6. Cut and Twist: Cut the stuffed dough into strips about 1 inch wide. Twist each strip and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Season and Bake: Brush the tops of the twisted sticks with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Serve: Serve with salsa and sour cream for dipping.
