The ingredients for Taco Braid are:

2 pkgs. Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
1.5 lbs. lean ground beef
2 T. taco seasoning, or more to taste
3 C. Mexican blend cheese, shredded
Sour cream

Here is how you make Taco Braid:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Scramble fry ground beef until there is no pink left. Drain off fat and transfer to a medium bowl.Add taco seasoning and two cups of cheese. Mix until well blended.Open packages of crescent rolls, but do not separate into individual rolls; leave them as a flat piece of dough. Place each one on a baking sheet that has been treated with cooking spray so that each sheet of dough is touching along the long end (two rectangles, one below the other). Pinch the dough together at the "seam" to make one long sheet. Make four to six 2-inch cuts in the dough from the edge toward the middle.Spread the beef mixture down the center of the dough. Starting at the top, fold the dough down, forming a pocket around the beef mixture. Fold the next strip toward the center, turning it slightly to make it look like a "braid". Do the same with the bottom of dough as you did with the top.Sprinkle remaining one cup of cheese on top of braid and place in the oven. Let bake until dough is golden and cheese on top is melted. Let stand for a minute or two before cutting and serving with sour cream.Makes 6-8 servingsNumber of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user HARMONYSTARR.
