About This Taco Ring Recipe

Taco night and pizza night are two of the most beloved meals in any family — and what could be better than combining the two for a delectable dish that is sure to be a hit?

A taco ring is everything your family loves about tacos and pizza, all rolled into one!

The soft and tender ring-shaped dough forms the perfect base, while seasoned ground beef filling, shredded cheese, chopped tomatoes, and diced onions bring delicious Mexican flavors to it.

Treat your family and friends to a delicious spread of these taco ingredients wrapped in flaky crescent rolls and served in a lovely spherical form! This savory meal comes together in a snap.

It’s so simple to make — just use any or all of your favorite go-to taco toppings, such as shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, and more. Once baked, slice up the ring and let everyone grab their own slice with some amazing toppings. If you have some extra ingredients, serve them on the side so everyone can make their dish exactly how they prefer it!

It’s also remarkably easy to customize — just swap out ingredients like spicy salsa, pickled jalapeños, vegan cheese, or black beans to cater to everyone in your family.

Make taco rings part of your regular recipe rotation; it’s definitely worth the effort!

Taco Ring Recipe Ingredients

Ingredient Notes

  • Ground Beef: Ground beef is incredibly versatile and works as the perfect protein in this recipe. And with its low-fat content, it’s an excellent source of protein and iron that is actually good for you.
  • Taco Seasonings: Tacos are one of life’s greatest pleasures, but if you really want to make them stand out, you can’t go wrong with homemade taco seasoning! This flavorful mix is easy to assemble using a few spices from your pantry. With the perfect blend of garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, and cayenne pepper, it’ll take an ordinary taco night up to the next level. Plus, you can customize it to your own taste — add a little more heat or tone down the spices depending on your preference.
  • Mexican Cheese Blend: Mexican cuisine is renowned for its bold flavors, and you can enjoy those same flavors right at home with a shredded Mexican cheese blend. With perfectly melted Monterey Jack, sharp cheddar, and creamy Queso Blanco cheese all mixed together, this shred makes an ideal topping on tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas, burritos, and more!
  • Crescent Rolls Dough: It is an incredibly versatile base for all kinds of recipes; you can use it to make savory breakfast dishes, easy lunchtime snacks, or even fill them with jams for a sweet dessert treat.
  • Egg: I love to add that finishing touch to my homemade baked goods with a generous brush of egg on top! A single egg combined with a splash of water creates the perfect glaze that makes any dish look like it was made by a master chef. With just one brush, you can take whatever baked goods you are creating from ordinary to extraordinary!
  • Toppings: I like to use shredded iceberg lettuce, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, sliced black olives, and pickled jalapeños for toppings.
