TACO PIZZA ROLLS

I was brainstorming dinner ideas and thought why not do a Mexican version of these Pizza Rolls? Taco Pizza Rolls!

I tried a couple of different versions. I like to complicate things.

I tried a version with crescent dough, a cream cheese/salsa sauce, taco meat, and cheese. Sounds good, right?

Well, the crescent dough was too soft to handle the wet filling and although the flavor was good, I decided I needed to simplify things.

My next version I made with just taco meat and cheese and decided that any other toppings could go on top. They were a total hit!
