Half small can slice olives if needed
1-2 diced tomatoes depending on the size
1-2 cups grated cheddar cheese shredded lettuce
One packet of taco seasoning
1 LB ground beef (or ground turkey)
Two crescent roll tubes

By the way, a 4.5oz can of Old El Paso chopped green chiles can be added to the beef mixture
Step 4: Place the beef in a circle form inside the laid out crescent rolls. Separate them into eight triangles. You can place each in an ungreased 9- inch square pan or better still on a 10-inch pie plate. Do press over the bottom of the rolls as well as the upsides to form a crust.

Expert tips for this recipe
Firstly, have the meat filling thoroughly cooked and leave it to cool a bit before spreading the crescent dough out. Always spoon the filling in an equal mound to surrounds the centre opening, this will leave plenty of dough to wrap it as well over it. You can use either a table knife or small spatula to tuck in the dough well.
Give a nice glossy finishing to your dough by brushing it using an egg that was already beaten with a spoonful of water before you slide it into the oven. If you don’t like the ground beef you can substitute it with a ground chicken
