Ingredients

  • 1 can Pillsbury refrigerated classic pizza crust for a flaky and crispy texture

  • __ cup guacamole a creamy accompaniment
  • 2 medium Roma tomatoes, diced for freshness
  • __ cup lettuce, shredded adds crunch and color
  • __ cup onion, diced for an extra kick of flavor
  • __ cup cheddar cheese, shredded for extra cheesiness

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Baking sheet or smoker
  • Parchment paper
  • Rolling Pin
  • Sharp knife
  • Serving Platter

Method
 

  1. Start by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and diced onion, cooking until the beef is browned and the onions have softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
  2. Stir in the taco seasoning mix, ensuring the beef and onions are well-coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  3. Unroll the Pillsbury refrigerated classic pizza crust onto a floured surface. Using a rolling pin, gently stretch it out to about ¼ inch thickness.
  4. Spread the beef mixture evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a little space at the edges. Sprinkle the shredded cheese atop the beef mixture, then roll the crust tightly from one end to the other.
  5. Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled pizza into 1-inch pieces. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cut side up.
  6. For oven-baked rolls, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. For smoked rolls, heat your smoker to 225°F (107°C) and smoke for about 30-40 minutes.
  7. While the rolls are cooking, prepare your toppings. Dice the Roma tomatoes, shred the lettuce, and mix any additional garnishes you’d like.
  8. Once the Taco Pizza Rolls are golden and delicious, remove them from the oven or smoker. Serve warm with sour cream, guacamole, and your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Allow the rolls to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
  • They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
  • For longer storage, freeze the rolls in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
