I recieved so much positive feedback on the Chicken Fajita Braid I posted, that I figured I should play around more with these 'braids'. They are SO EASY to make and the varieties you could make are endless! For this one all I used was taco seasoned ground beef, refried beans, freshly grated cheddar cheese and salsa! That is it.. and that is all :) You will love it!
TACO BRAID
Recipe By: Holly Lofthouse
1 lb ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning
1 cup water
1 can refried beans
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup salsa
1 can Pillsbury Pizza Dough
Unravel the Pizza Dough and let sit out on a greased cookie sheet while you brown the ground beef. Once beef is cooked, add the taco seasoning and 1 cup water. Mix well and let simmer for 5-10 minutes on low.
Now that dough is room temp and easy to work with, shape out into a large rectangle. Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut one inch strips down along sides of dough. In the center spread out the refried beans.
Next spread the seasoned ground beef on top of the beans, and then drizzle the salsa over the meat. Last sprinkle the cheese evenly. Now start braiding the one inch strips over the top.
Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown! Let cool 5 minutes, and then DIG IN baby :)
