1 package refrigerated pizza dough

1 lb ground beef

1 tablespoon taco seasoning

1/4 cup water

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup salsa (for dipping)

1/4 cup sour cream (optional, for dipping)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
Season: Add taco seasoning and water, stirring until combined. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Prepare dough: Roll out pizza dough on a floured surface and cut into 1-2 inch wide strips.
Fill & roll: Spoon beef mixture onto each strip, sprinkle cheese on top, then roll tightly into sticks.
Bake: Place on a greased baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve: Enjoy with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole. Garnish with cilantro if desired.

Make it spicy: Add diced jalapeños or cayenne pepper.

Switch up the cheese: Try mozzarella, pepper jack, or a Mexican blend.

Flavored dough: Brush with garlic butter or taco sauce before baking for extra flavor.

Vegetarian option: Substitute black beans or refried beans for beef.
