Quick Crescent Taco Pie

“Triangles of crescent roll dough are pressed into a 10-inch pie tin and layered with all the taco fixings. First come the corn chips, followed by the ground meat, sour cream and cheese. Then another layer of corn chips finishes the pie. It 's baked until golden, cut into slices and served with shredded lettuce and slices of avocado.”

This was excellent!! Since some reviews had talked about blandness I Was concerned. I put 2 packages of taco seasoning in one pound of ground meat. I added 1 can of Great Value Tex Mex tomatoes, and 1 large can of refried beans, all to the meat mixture. I also put green onions on top before baking. Upon coming out of the oven, I added fresh chopped tomatoes for color. May family loved it.mit was fantastic!!

Easy to make and tastes great. I served lettuce on top with salsa and cheese. I also added a can of chopped tomatoes in place of the olives.

I have made this so many times over the years that I can't even count how many, lol! The only ting I do differentl is to use nacho cheese flavored tortilla chips (Doritos), in place of the plain ones. Great flavor and nice and hearty. I usually serve mine w/ a nice salad and some salsa on the side. YUM! :)

my family including my picky 9yr old LOVED this and had seconds. I don't normally care for tacos but loved this as well. As other raters have mentioned I did use nacho flavored chips instead of regular corn ships mmmmmmmmmmmm I can't wait to make this again.

I make something like this all the time for my large family and it is a HUGE hit! The one thing I have always done differently is mix the cooked meat in a large bowl with a full jar of mild salsa before I put it on top of the crust. This gives it enough flavor that you can skip the taco seasoning step if you wish! If you use a brand of salsa that is really watery, you might want to let the mixture sit in a colander a few minutes before putting it on the crust. Can't go wrong with this recipe! Great with ground turkey too!

I left out the olives no one in family likes them. I also used corn chips. My husband said wow tastes better than I was expecting. I also really enjoyed it. My daughter did not like, well I was expecting that seems how she does not like taco meat.

Very good recipe. My daughter who claims to not like tacos even enjoyed it. Tweaked it a bit based on some of the other reviews. Only added 1/3 cup of water to the beef mixture and add mixed the sour cream directly into the mixture instead of on top of it. Very tasty.

Everyone loved it. I used ground turkey - no red meat. I added additional sour cream to the meat and also some hot sauce. I didn't do olives, as no one but me likes them. Also, used Fritos for chips. Served with lettuce and tomato. HINT: They now sell seam-free crescent rols so you don't have to deal with the triangles coming apart as you are assembling them. It helped sooo much.
