Cheesy Taco Pinwheels 🌮🧀

Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning
¼ cup water
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained well
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Salsa and sour cream for dipping
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cook the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess grease.
3. Season the meat: Add taco seasoning and ¼ cup water. Stir and simmer for 2–3 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
4. Prepare the dough: Unroll the crescent dough onto a lightly floured surface. Press the seams together to create one large rectangle.
5. Spread the cream cheese: Evenly spread softened cream cheese over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
6. Add the fillings: Sprinkle the seasoned beef evenly over the cream cheese. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and drained diced tomatoes.
7. Roll it up: Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log, keeping the filling tucked inside.
8. Slice the pinwheels: Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12–16 even slices. For cleaner cuts, refrigerate the roll for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
9. Arrange and bake: Place each pinwheel cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.

🌮 Cheesy Doritos Taco Cups

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10–12 minutes
Servings: 12 taco cups

Ingredients
1 bag Nacho Cheese Doritos
1 lb ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning
⅓ cup water
1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded lettuce
½ cup diced tomatoes
¼ cup finely diced onion
½ cup sour cream
2 green onions, chopped (optional)
Cooking spray
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
2. Cook the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain any excess grease.
3. Season the meat: Add taco seasoning and ⅓ cup water. Stir and simmer for 3–5 minutes until the beef is flavorful and the liquid has thickened.
4. Prepare the Doritos cups: Arrange 5–6 large Doritos chips around the sides of each muffin cup, overlapping them slightly to create a bowl shape.
5. Add the filling: Spoon the seasoned ground beef into the center of each Doritos cup, being careful not to break the chips.
6. Add the cheese: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese over each taco cup.
7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven for 5–8 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and the Doritos are warm and crispy. Watch closely to prevent burning.
8. Add fresh toppings: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 2–3 minutes. Top each cup with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and onions.
9. Finish with sour cream: Add a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with chopped green onions
