Love taco night but tired of the same old recipe? How about trying these delicious, easy taco crescent rolls calzones for a change?
1 lb. ground turkey (or lean ground beef)
1 1/2 T. hot & spicy taco seasoning mix or your favorite
1 pinch coarse salt
12 oz. tube crescent dinner rolls
1/3 c. black refried beans, drained
1/2 c. shredded Mexican cheese or taco cheese
1/3 c. fresh chopped tomato
1/4 c. sliced black olives
2 scallions, sliced
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large skillet, brown the turkey ( ground beef) until cooked through, about 7 minutes. Add the taco seasoning and salt. Cook another minute, until fragrant.
Unroll the crescents two at a time, keeping them in a rectangle. Press the perforated edges together.
Spread a little refried beans along half of the crescent dough. Spread it diagonally to make triangle calzones, or on the lower half to make square calzones. Top with the seasoned meat, shredded cheese, tomatoes, olives and scallions.
Fold remaining dough over and pinch to seal, enclosing the filling.
Bake about 15 minutes, or until the dough is cooked through and golden brown.
