Instructions

Prepare the Taco Filling:

Cook the Meat: In a large skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef (or Halal alternative) and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
Add Taco Seasoning: Once the meat is cooked through, stir in the taco seasoning and water. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Add Salsa and Cheese: Stir in the salsa and 1 cup of shredded cheese. Set the filling aside to cool completely.

Prepare the Breadsticks:

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. You’ll need to press the seams together if the dough comes in perforated triangles.
Stuff the Breadsticks: Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the taco filling onto the wide end of each triangle. Be careful not to overstuff. Roll the dough from the wide end to the tip, sealing the edges as you go.
Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the stuffed breadsticks on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
Season the Dough: Brush the tops of the breadsticks with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden brown and crispy on top.

Serve:

Serve Hot: Allow the breadsticks to cool for a few minutes before serving. Pair with your favorite dipping sauces like sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
