• ½ pound ground beef
  
• 2 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls

Instructions



1. In a bowl, combine 1 cup cheese, water and taco seasoning. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into 16 balls. Place 1 in. apart in an ungreased 15in. x 10in. x 1in. baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until meat is no longer pink.
   
2. Drain meatballs on paper towels. Reduce heat to 375 degrees. Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into triangles. Place triangles on a 14in pizza pan, forming a ring with pointed ends facing outer edge of pan wide ends overlapping. Lightly press wide ends together. Place a meatball on each roll; fold point over meatball and tuck under wide end of roll (meatballs will be visible). Bake for 15-20 minutes or until rolls are golden brown.
   
3. Fill the center of the ring with the lettuce, tomato, onions, olives, remaining cheese, sour cream, jalapenos, and salsa.
